PowerEdge 2600 Raid controller

Good day
There is an old Dell PowerEdge 2600 server with a controller on board Perc 4/Di
The essence of the problem: I can not enter into the configuration utility of the controller in the + , respectively, on boot from any media does not seem possible.

 

 

In the SCSI mode everything works fine, but update the firmware of the controller in this mode is impossible, since he does not see the RAID controller.


Is it possible to fill the firmware without activating the controller?


Ask a petition for a software translation, I'm from Russia.

    You cannot upgrade the PERC firmware unless it is "on" or activated - through bootable means or otherwise.

    Why can you not get into CTRL-M?  What happens when you press it?  Try reseating the RAID components ... RAID memory, RAID battery, and RAID key ... and the PCI riser card.

    When you click nothing happens, but the keyboard responds to pressing, yet feature - can not get into the BIOS after installation mode RAID, the logic of this is possible only after setting the controller has a hardware reset the BIOS memory. PCI riser card not set in After removal of key RAID / RAID memory controller generates an error no seized components. Another question that F10 = Utility Mode?

    F10 contains diagnostics, but it may not be available.  You can, however, download the same diagnostics from Dell's Support Site.

    Don't remove the RAID hardware - reseat it (take it out, then back in).

    If you have reseated the RAID components and are still unable to get in, then you may have to replace your motherboard, RAID key, and/or riser card.
