I recently acquired a poweredge 2950 with service tag (SVCTAG removed by admin) w/o an OS, and I'm working on setting it up. The first thing I noticed was the E1211 Romb battery error. I unplugged the cord to the battery and plugged it back in to see if that would fix it, but it did not. So, I figure I need to replace the battery. Then I booted from a Ubuntu Server install disc just to test it out. I clicked through several steps of the install process and then canceled. Then I set up two virtual discs in the RAID controller (a RAID 1 and a RAID 5) in order to have something to install ubuntu to. Then when I boot from the install disc I can click through one part of the install process and then I get a blank screen and the LCD shows e1410 errors for both CPUs. I then removed the RAID configuration that I had just created to see if that led to the e1410 errors. After removing the RAID configuration I booted from the install disc and did not get the e1410 errors. Do you think if I replace the battery the CPU errors will be resolved? I also noticed one of the drives (6 of them) has a SMART status Error.
The RAID is PERC 5/i 5.0.2-0003 with firmware version 1.00.02-0157. I haven't tried updating any firmware. Any ideas what might be causing the e1410 CPU error?
