Windows Server 2022 Showing Only One Network Card

Description 

Some Exacq NVRs built with Microsoft Windows Server 2022 only acknowledge one network interface, rather than two, when being configured out-of-box.

<br>

Product 

Issue has been noted on BBE systems ASRock Industrial IMB-X1313 system boards, listed below.

  • Z-Series systems
  • Some A-Series systems, depending on the system options ordered

NOTE: Windows Server OS is an optional upgrade for many systems, so this will not apply to all systems listed above.

<br>

Steps to Reproduce 

  1. Power on unit<br><br>
  2. Check Windows Device Manager for listed network interfaces<br><br>
  3. Check exacqVision Client Network Settings

<br>

Expected Results 

All network cards are recognized and appear listed.

<br>

Actual Results 

Only one interface is listed.

<br>

Solution

Attempt solution starting with Step 9 first. If this still fails, repeat steps beginning with Step 1, which requires opening the system chassis.

  1. Power the system down gracefully using the shutdown option from the OS.<br><br>
  2. Unplug system and press the power button to drain any residual power off the board.<br><br>
  3. Open the system, locate and remove the CMOS battery from the system board. Wait 5 to 10 minutes before continuing.<br><br>
  4. Replace the CMOS battery.<br><br>
  5. Reconnect power to the system.<br><br>
  6. Power on the system.<br><br>
  7. Enter the system BIOS or Boot Option menu and boot to the UEFI partition.<br><br>
  8. Check for changes in recognition of the additional network interface(s). If no change, continue with next steps.<br><br>
  9. Restart the system and enter BIOS.<br><br>
  10. Open to the Exit menu and select Load Defaults.<br><br>
  11. Reboot and enter BIOS again, select the UEFI partition as the boot option.<br><br>
  12. Check Windows Device Manager and Network Settings to validate that the additional interface(s) are detected.

<br>

AES-842 Has been created to investigate this.

<br>

Additional Steps

Pull the logs from the UEFI

  1. Open CMD.<br><br>
  2. Enter the following:
    mountvol z: /S<br><br>
  3. Type cd z: and press Enter.<br><br>
  4. Type dir and press Enter.<br><br>
  5. Type cd EXACQ and press Enter.<br><br>
  6. Open File Explorer and locate the logs in the Z partition. This is hidden by default. If you make them visible using File Explorer options, be sure to set to hidden again after you are done collecting logs.<br><br>
  7. Collect the txt and xml files from the logs and add them to a newly created ZIP file to copy from the system.<br><br>
  8. When done collecting logs, return to CMD and enter
    mountvol z: /d
    to remove the temporarily mounted volume.

Updating the BIOS on Systems with ASRock C236M WS Motherboards

Description 

The following instructions can be used to update the BIOS on systems with ASRock C326M motherboards.

Product 

  • Asrock C236M WS Motherboard

Instructions

  • Download the C236MWS3.12E flash file HERE
  • Format a 32MB or larger USB key as FAT32
  • Copy the flash file to the root of the USB key
  • Plug the USB key into the NVR and restart the machine
  • On Boot, after the MegaRAID initializes (if applicable) and prior to the operating system loading press the Delete key “Del” to enter BIOS setup
  • When prompted enter the BIOS password “admin256” and press “Enter”. 
  • On the Main tab check the current BIOS version, listed as UEFI Version
  • If the version is L3.12E or higher a BIOS update is not required.
  • To update the BIOS, select the Advance tab, highlight Instant Flash, and Enter.  
  • Instant Flash will automatically detect all devices and only list those BIOS versions which are suitable for your motherboard, select the suitable BIOS version and press ENTER to  flash.
  • The BIOS update should progress
  • Please DO NOT power off during BIOS update.
  • After update success completes, press Enter to reboot system
  • The server will power cycle several times, press [F2] or [Del] to enter the BIOS setup utility.
  • On the Main tab verify the new version “L3.12E”
  • Verify the date and time are correct
  • Press F10 to exit BIOS and restart the machine.

Note:

In the event the BIOS password “admin256” fails after Instant Flash perform the following steps

  • Power the server off
  • Turn the individual power supplies off and remove the power cords
  • Disconnect the CMOS battery
  • Hold the power button on for a few seconds to discharge any residual power
  • Reconnect the CMOS battery
  • Reconnect the power cords and power the unit on

Traditionally systems with MegaRAID controller cards would display initialization information along with the option to enter the MegaRAID BIOS when a system is first booted.  After updating the BIOS this will no longer be the case, the MegaRAID BIOS is accessible through BIOS Setup on the Advanced tab.  If desired the older behavior can be restored by enabling CSM  “Compatibility Support Module” Parameter on the Boot tab.
