MSI C847MS-E33 + IBM serveraid M1015

Hi,
After many hours short on sleep this is the next stop to make.
I am building a homeserver and chosen this board MSI C847MS-E33 (flashed bios to latest version) for its celeron and low energy consumption.
At first i used a 430w psu(should have been just fine) and highpoint rocket sata controller.
Problem : disks controlled by the highpoint were dissapearing.
I replaced the psu as altho 430w should be enough (max load calculated +-400w) it looked like a psu problem.
Problem remained.
I checked out on the highpoint card and found more similar problems (driver problems under linux for the marvel chip)
So i replaced that one with the popular ibm serveraid m1015 wich is known to be a very descent card for its price.
The problem is now that the booting hangs on :
megasas: INIT adapter done
I'm using a debian based system.
I found a similar problem (other lsi card + mobo) here :
edit : links not allowed
He tried about anything i did.
There are a few things i have not tested yet :
(installing windows on that machine, altho running windows is not an option.)
I tried to boot with the latest ubuntu livecd and it failed aswel.
If i put this card in another computer everything works. (i will try to flash the cards bios tonight, it was impossible to do on the msi board as
1. I dont have a supported windows version (found out on other computer) that supports the software for updating.
2. It has been impossible to do on the msi board as linux wont boot with the card attached.
So i try tonight in the other computer with the ubuntu live cd wich does seem to boot fine with the card on that computer.
In the meanwhile :
Is there a known problem with this kind of cards (since i tried 2 cards and both gave problems) on this msi pci-e slot?
Any bios settings i should try?
Just anything else?
Regards.

In BIOS there is a section for IRST, but that option can not be selected or changed from "Disabled".
Chipset and CPU have support for this technology and after reading forums I can confirm that this option is working properly on different manufacturers boards with same configuration (Gigabyte and ECS).
Conclusion is that MSI designers overlooked this section of BIOS, and that IRST section of it is bugged.
Can this be solved?
BTW, I have sent question about this issue at MSI support with no answer yet.

MSI H55M-E33 MB OC

Hello everyone!
I got an MSI H55M-E33 mother board paired with an i5-760 currently running at 3.6 ghz, unfortunately thats the maximum i ever managed to get it to, i was wondering if anyone has the mentioned motherboard and ever managed to get to 3.8 or 4.0 ghz oc.
I have bios version 1.0, was always paranoid to flash it to a newer one since i never had issues with it, the annoying thing is i cant seem to find the QPI/VTT voltage option so my oc is that limited, i asked around and i have been told the newer versions of the bios still dont include the option but im sceptic to be honest, there must be the option now a days!!. If anyone has the latest bios version for this mobo can you confirm its got all the required options to be able to run this cpu at 4.0 ghz?, if the options are not there, how the hell did you manage to get to 4.0 ghz with just the vcore voltage control!?
Thanks in advance everyone.

the annoying thing is i cant seem to find the QPI/VTT voltage option so my oc is that limited,
There are potentially two reasons for that.
1. The components on the lower end boards are unable to cope with higher overclocks and the increased power requirements with such higher OC's add the risk of board component failure.
2. The control circuits for manually adjusting these values just don't exist, meaning that even if they could add the lines in the BIOS, you still won't be able to change the values.
You have probably exhausted the OC potential of that board.

Need help on IBM ServeRaid 5i BIOS/Firmware upgrade

Hi,
We just upgraded the Cisco Call manager on IBM xSeries 345 MT-8670-M1X server with Cisco patch WIN-OS-Upgrade-K9.2000-4-2sr6.exe. After upgrade we got this error message about IBMC ServeRaid 5i controller card.
"Version mismatch detected: controller 1. The BIOS (version 6.10.24), Firmware (version 6.10.24), and Driver (version 7.10.18) are not a matched set and are not compatible."
We download the BIOS/firmware upgrade Disk from this web site.
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62462
During the upgrade, the server continues ask insert disk1.
Also this site does not have the latest device drive for IBM ServeRaid 5i in windows 2000 server.
I need some help and you will get my highest vote
1. Where can I get the proper BIOS/Firmware upgrade disk from Cisco?
2. During the upgrade stage, why the server always ask insert disk 1. I have tried all 5 disks. But none of the work. I disconnect the mirri during the upgrade. Does it affect the upgrade?
3. Where can I get the latest device driver for 5i work with windows 2000 server?
Many thank
Kevin

Hi kevin,
Open a case wid TAC they will direct you on the right route.

No driver for IBM Serveraid 4L !

Hi all,
I have read topics about drivers problems with the serveraid 4L card.
We have an IBM xseries 240 and Solaris does not detect hardrives ...
Does anyone know if today there is a solution (driver) for 4L card ??
I don't understand why Sun does not want to support IBM server.... !
We have :
xSeries100 : installation failed
xSeries220 : installation failed
xSeries240 : installation failed
Thanks for your help ;)

chs driver of Solaris support IBM serveRAID 2x serials.
However, there is no Solaris driver for IBM serveRAID 3x,4x,5x,6x currently. I am working on that and the prototype was ready and driver is in testing progress.
As for IBM serveRAID 7x,8x serials driver , Sun will release them soon.

IBM ServeRAID 3L Driver (chs)

I am implementing Solaris 7/x86 on an IBM Netfinity platform using the IBM ServeRAID 3L card. According to IBM the Solaris driver for the card (chs) was written by Sun, and they cannot offer support for it.
The driver itself works fine. My problem is that there seems to be no way to monitor the status of the physical drives hooked to the controller. This functionality is provided by IBM's IPSMON utility on a number of other Unix platforms (Linux, SCO, Unixware, etc...).
If anyone has implemented such as utility and would be willing to share the ioctl parameters I would appreciate hearing from them.
Thanks.

Hi! There are no public ioctls for the chs driver.
The best thing I can think of is to use the USCSI ioctl to pass your own scsi commands to the raid unit directly.
Take a look at:

Hope that is some help,

Overclocking an MSI H55M-E33 with easy OC switch.

Hi everyone,
Im new to overclocking, tempted to overclock through the easy oc switch on the mainboard. Has anyone tried it out? how did it go?, but more importantly do i need to change setting from the bios or does it change itself automaticaly after the switches are on?, also do i need to turn off intel's turbo boost before i turn the switches on?, an explanation would be much appreciated since ive never done this before, thanks guys
my setup:
Mainboard: MSI H55M-E33
Case: Coolmaster centurion 5
CPU: I5 760
Ram: 8gig corsair xms3 classic
Cpu cooler: Noctua nh-d14
Case cooler: Noctua nf-p12
Graphics: MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC (single unit)
HD: X2 SEAGATE 500GIG 7200rpm

Suggest you set your BIOS to default values first.
Set your OC switch to its first OC stage and restart the system. Test for stability with something like Prime 95 and monitor your temps.
Once you have established stability, you can try the second OC stage and repeat the stability testing.
You may of course want to do some reading first in terms of overclocking your 1156 platform. OC'ing the system in the BIOS yourself is usually the best way to achieve this.
Here is a nice guide that will take you through the process step by step. http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-guide-overclock-core-i3-i5-i7/

Self-adhesive plastic part on bottom of MSI H55M-E33?

Hi,
I just got an MSI H55M-E33 from my retailer. The problem is that I have the feeling that the board is not new (someone may had already installed it).
I found a small piece of black self-adhesive plastic on the bottom on the board which I had never seen before on any MoBo I have installed before. The black plastic part is about 1x3cm large and sticks on the bottom of the MoBo next to the IDE-port.
Is this a regular part of the MoBo or is this something that doesn't belong there? Has anyone recognized something like that on a brand new H55M-E33?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

That doesn't sound right. Here is a reference image of the bottom of the board as it should look fresh from the box:

Unable to download the above BIOS version from the US, EU or Asian download locations on the product support download page..
Release date says 30th Oct 2013.
Is there a reason this BIOS is unavailable and when will it be available for download ?.

Thinks its an error, Beta .H64 was released on 11/2013 says 10/2013 for H60 which would be the mass production release of this bios.
I attached .h64 for you since I assume you are having problems.
You may flash with the forum flash tool option 1, run the .bat from pure dos, or manual flash.

MSI A55M - E33 no OFFSET!?

Hello!
I just bought an MSI A55-E33 motherboard, motherboard old was nowhere to be offset in the tall'm using! In a A4 6300 processor in it. Until now it was flawless at 1.1 V, but just give him a 1.3 V, so you better warm up and eat more.
There may be a bios for this board that supports the OFFSET??

This is very hard to understand what is most likely caused due to the usage of an online translator. I suppose you are asking if there is an overvoltage offset option for this board. Answer is no. Where no offset is included out of the box it is impossible to add with a simple update.

MSI B75IA-E33 supported memory

I'm looking for some memory kits to be used with my MSI B75IA-E33. I have my eyes on:
G.Skill 1.35v F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO
Corsair 1.35v CML8GX3M2A1600C9W
Kingston 1.35v KHX1600C9D3LK2/8GX
Kingston 1.35v KHX1866C9D3LK2/4GX
All of those are low voltage variants. Can they be used flawlessly with the B75IA-E33?
I have checked the supported memory list, and they are not listed (msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_2673.pdf).
However, a low voltage G.Skill Sniper 1.25v F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 is listed and supported.

Quote
1. Is the default voltage normal? Because it's constantly changing between 1.472 V and 1.488 V (just those 2 numbers, nothing in between).
This isn't a problem.
Quote
2. How can I set it to the advertised 1.35 V? I have checked the BIOS and found out that I can change the Voltage to 1.35 V, but I'm not sure that's all that has to be done. Do I have to adjust the frequency as well?
Enable XMP in bios to get it to run at the advertised 1600.
You can set the voltage in the OC section of bios. DRAMV: 1.35

MSI H61M-E33(B3) updating bios.........file not found

Hi,
I tried to update the bios MSI H61M-E33(B3) from 10.D to 12.2. After rebooting, i got the message "BIOS Update: ... file not found".
There is something wrong, what could it be?
The following files are on an usb-Stick:
- 7680vC2.exe (Windows-Installer)
- EIVB.bin (MD5: 55a1af369b1db5b180a432a8fa5c7178 )
- IM9T318R (empty directory)
If the stick is missing, i got the message that the bios-update is not finished yet.

If that doesn't work:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the attached archive to your desktop(of any computer)
Install the forum update tool
Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the entire archive.
It will prepare the flash tool to flash, I am not sure if you are getting far enough to use this, perhap try a full cmos clear as well.
If none of these solutions will work, you will need that spi programmer.

MSI B75MA-E33 does see 2Gb of memory from 4Gb

My old m/b is dead (Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2). My 2 x mushkin Essentials 2Gb DDR3 1333MHz was working fine on that m/b. I decided to purchase replacement MSI B75MA-E33 + i3-3240. Specifications says that this memory is supported.
But BIOS see only 2Gb. I tried to switch memory sticks between ports with the same result. Any suggestions?

Socket looks OK. CPU was reseated. Still the same.

MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

Hello,
My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
TL:DR
Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
My concerns are;
I seem to still have reboot issue.
I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
My questions are;
Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
Was stopping at 47% normal?
Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
Am I missing a step somewhere?
Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

MFlash reboots in the process. To be sure reupdate using the below instructions and archive for a proper fpt flash. If you used Win8 feature (fastboot) before the first update be aware taht you need to set anything again after an update (e.g. enabling safeboot) as everything is set to default.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7817IMS_660.rar.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
