Hello,
I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge 2900 server. I have 4 x 2TB HDDs in a RAID 5 configuration, two X5460 Xeon processors installed, and 32GB of RAM installed in my server as well. The server is running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64. The problem I am having is sometimes right before the login screen appears, the server restarts itself. The front LED panel will then turn amber orange and gives me an error: E171F PCIE Fatal Err, B0 D5 F0, E1422 CPU Machine Chk. Additionally, if the server does boot up, I notice there is a substantial lag. For example, if I click the launcher to search for something, the launcher may take about 5 seconds to appear and to be functional. I am currently running the Dell diagnostic software, and so far everything seems to be functioning. However, I have tried searching these errors and problems on Google without any luck, and I was hoping someone could give me advice on how to troubleshoot/fix these issues.
