Poweredge 2970 E1210 CMOS Batt (blade)

Hello,

We have powered down, unplugged, replaced the cmos battery, reseted the memory and we still receive error E1210 CMOS Batt.  We didn't have to flush the Cache since the server doesn't have any OS or VD's configured.

  1. The directions don't say but does the Perc controller need to be reseated to get rid of this error? 
  2. Are their any directions that show how to get the perc controller out?
  3. How do you test whether the battery volts is outside of allowable range?

Thanks,

Will

    Hello Will

    The PERC should having nothing to do with the CMOS battery. You can view the voltages inside the system BIOS or via OpenManage Server Administrator in the OS.

    The LCD error is reported from the hardware/system event log that is stored in the BMC. You may need to boot into the BMC BIOS(CTL E) and clear the log for the error to go away. If you have OMSA installed you can clear the log from within OMSA as well.

    Thanks

    Thanks Daniel, I'll try it in the morning. Is clearing the error standard practice or should it clear once the condition no longer exists?
