Primergy RX100, W2003 and problems with USB

Postby jarek.p » Mon Feb 04, 2013 20:05

Hi, I have a problem (is it a typical begin on this forum? )

I have old server Primergy RX100 (without any "S", just RX100), serial: YBDR003359 and I need to install W2003 on it.
According to information got from Fujitsu Callcenter, this server needs CD ServerStart v5.307. I found this CD, but it doesn't support W2003, only XP and W2000.
So, I tried to install OS with higher ServerStart, v6.612.
And... it was possible, installation was done without any error, now I have working W2003, "device manager" doesn't show any uninstalled or bad working devices. BUT I have one, small problem with USB ports: it works only as USB v1.0...

Frankly speaking I didn't find any information that this server has USB 2.0 and it is my first question: could anybody confirm that this server has it? Server is made in 2003y. and I can't believe that it hasn't USB v.2 but who knows...

Second question: is possible that this server has USB v2.0 but it has incorrect driver and works as v1.0? How can I get proper driver? "download center" on this site doesn't contains chipset drivers for this server.

Thanks in advance for any support

Many questions...

Firstly, ServerStart 6.6.12 should be fine to install W2K3 on RX100

USB ports; neither the motherboard manual or the datasheet mentions V2.0 USB so I'd guess that suggests they were only USB 1.0

There are some drivers on the download site - you just have to browse for "older server models" - but no specific chipset drivers which suggest the chipset should be supported natively by Windows

The chipset is Serverworks CSB6 but it seems very difficult to find spec of that. I'm guessing it is working as good as it can and only supports USB 1.0 (just can't find proof of that)

OK, it is not so good news for me, but thanks for answer. Unfortunately I strongly need USB 2.0 and can't change this server with some mechanical reasons (this server is very shallow) . It looks that solution will be additional USB controller card...
Thanks for support.
