I ran into this same problem. I had to receive the new motherboards on 2 Cisco/IBM 7825's and bring all the memory/cpu/etc misc components over to the new motherboard. The next problem that I had was that the installer script was unable to remove the previous windows partitions so I had to actually use the array utilities to format both of the hard drives and then the installer was able to do it's thing. This was a nightmare for me. <br>

<tt>Hi Wes,<br>
i missed to ask you if this error is going to cause any problem to my
installation (Publisher failure or whatever) or it is just something
that is not going to have any other side effect.<br>
<br>

<tt>Hi Wes,<br>
and thanks for your interest. No, the appliance was never RMA'd.<br>
I don't know if the customer had ever flashed the BIOS during the past
year. Would that cause this problem?<br>
What is the plan of action from now and on?<br>
Shall i tell something to the TAC because they keep asking me
irrelevant questions and they have never ever mentioned what you told
me! And is really getting really annoying.<br>
<br>
Thanks and kind Regards<br>

Hi Anthony,<br>
<br>
Let's step back a moment. This problem is triggered by incorrect MTM
string. The MTM is configurable on the system board by IBM. IBM sets
specific MTM value in the motherboard before they OEM to Cisco. If a
Cisco MCS box in a customer environment has system board RMA'd then IBM
is supposed to set the Cisco specific MTM. They can do this before
shipping the board out or an IBM FE can go onsite and set the MTM.
Either way it must be set.<br>
<br>
Now for your specific case. The question appears to be how your system
board got an incorrect MTM string. Did you previously RMA the system
board?<br>

<tt>Hi Wes,<br>
for the past month i have been talking and talking with a TAC i have
opened but i am still waiting!!<br>
Emails over emails, talked with IBM engineers, flashed the BIOS but
nothing.<br>
So, the only solution is replacement?<br>
I don't know if it is OK if i give the TAC number to the mailing list!<br>
<br>
Kind regards<br>

known issue, IBM did not configure your motherboard properly for Cisco
deployment: <br>
CSCse53474 IBM 7815I1 or 7825I1 fails hardware check during reboot. <br>
<br>
Did you RMA the motherboard at any point? <br>
