First, verify that the NVMe drives in the affected bays are properly seated and connected. Restarting the XClarity Controller (XCC) may also help restore the drive inventory. Additionally, ensure that your server's firmware is up to date and check the VMD settings in the BIOS/UEFI for correct configuration. [community thread]
To resolve this issue, check the BIOS settings to ensure the m.2 NVMe drive is set as the primary boot device and that the boot mode for the RAID controller is configured to UEFI. Additionally, update the firmware and drivers for the RAID controller and verify the RAID configuration to ensure it does not conflict with the boot drive settings. [community thread]
Ensure that the XCC connection settings are properly configured for the UpdateXpress System Pack. Check that IPMI over KCS is enabled and that the necessary network settings are correctly set up in the BMC Configuration. Additionally, verify that the UXSP packages available for your specific machine type and operating system include the updates you are expecting. [community thread]
The ST650 V3 is designed to operate with noticeable fan noise even when idle, particularly in configurations with high GPU or storage usage. Factors such as ambient temperature, dust accumulation, and proper installation of components can influence fan speed. Ensure the server is in a suitable environment and that all components are correctly installed to potentially reduce noise levels. [community thread]
