PowerEdge: Dell service support for end of industry production of 2.5" 15k RPM SAS hard drives

Dell Technologies advises against downgrading Hard Drive or SSD firmware, except in validated scenarios, due to unpredictable results and version reporting issues.

The "Predictive failure reported for disk x" error continues to be logged every 24 hours, even after the identified drive has been replaced. The issue only affects drives connected to PERC Controllers in RAID configuration.

During Windows Server 2025 installation by iDRAC virtual media, a disk with size 0 B is displayed on the drive selection page.

Leveraging the 'Reboot Required' filter and selecting all items in this filtered view results in the 'make compliant' job applying all non-compliant firmware components. An unexpected reboot of the target is seen as components that do require a restart are deployed to the target. The issue is only seen if selecting all objects and using the 'Reboot Required' filter. All other filters work as designed.

CPUs can be perceived to be hot while server is idle.

Beginning with 15G PowerEdge, servers are offered in configurations that report more drive connections than are physically available.

Dust or chemical contamination at the endface of a fiber optic LC connector or transceiver module impedes signaling. Dell engineering teams have verified cases in which a fully functional port appears to be a bad port because dirty optical connectors manifest as a port failing loop testing with acceptable power measurement levels. Cable connectors should be cleaned and when stored must be protected from dust particle or chemical contamination.

During continuous reboot testing, the system may stop responding during the shutdown phase due to an internal error (CPU0000) on PowerEdge T150, R250, R350, T350 systems.

Seagate Summit SAS/SATA drives report medium errors or sense key 3/11 on PowerEdge and PowerVault systems due to a firmware issue causing weak writes to a drive sector.
