Network Attached Storage (NAS) https://datastorageguy.com Consulting Services and Tech-Tips from Ben Patridge Thu, 25 Aug 2022 22:50:54 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 https://datastorageguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/cropped-dsgplatter-32x32.png Network Attached Storage (NAS) https://datastorageguy.com 32 32 189268276 Intel SP2600TP Board Boots at Bios Screen to error 26 in lower right corner https://datastorageguy.com/2022/08/25/intel-sp2600tp-board-boots-at-bios-screen-to-error-26-in-lower-right-corner/ Thu, 25 Aug 2022 22:50:54 +0000 https://datastorageguy.com/?p=207

PROBLEM

It was seen recently on a T7000 whereby an Intel S2600TP system that boots and the only thing on the screen is the following with the number 26 in the lower right corner.

Text on the screen reads as:

Board Name S2600TP
Chipset initialization complete. No errors found.
26 (lower right hand corner).

CAUSE

I filed case 00556496 with Intel and the results were as follows:

POST code 26 indicates it may hang on to the Memory Reference Phrase (MRC) phase as MRC training is a failure. In this scenario, we recommend changing other DIMMs or boards.

SOLUTION

Replace the Memory, or since if Memory is not FRU, replace the controller.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

For additional information on other codes, see: S2600TP Intel Troubleshooting Guide

To obtain current BMC time according to the BMC

# ipmitool sel time get
08/16/2022 00:25:06

Dynamically change the BMC time

# ipmitool sel time set "$(date '+%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S')"
08/15/2022 18:27:41

Verify the new settings:

# ipmitool sel time get
08/15/2022 18:28:04
