I just installed a new Dell Power Edge 2950 with Windows server 2003 Std.

Everying is fine. The only problem I got now is that I can not shut down

from Windows. When selecting "shutdown" it won't shut down. Instead, it

reboots. I called Dell tech he has no idea. Is something wrong with my OS

set up?

 

Thanks.

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

Hello,

 

can you check on the eventlog to be sure you chose shutdown ?

 

Else it may come from the server (ACPI..)

Can you run the dell diagnostics CD ?

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

Try upgrading the Broadcom driver with the latest version from Dell

web site.

I am having the same issue with both a 1950 and a 2950 -- both running

the latest Broadcom drivers. Any more info out there?

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

We switched to the broadcom official drivers, which are much recent than

Dell and can do teaming.

 

Did you run the Dell diagnostic tool as i mentionned before ?

 

Do you have latest bios & firmware ?

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

No, not yet - won't be at that office for a few days. Everything works

properly on those three servers but all have the exact same issue. I have

a couple of Dell 2900 servers running the exact same OS and software that

don't have that issue.

So it may be more about an hardware issue

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

I would have to guess there is something about the rack mount dell's that

doesn't work natively with Wink2k3 X64 with the standard patches - not sure

what yet - I'm sure dell will come out with a firmware update. I didn't

test because I immediately apply patches but it probably works normally

until you apply the patches for Windows - perhaps it is SP2, maybe some

other post SP2 patch.

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

I'd start with the TOE key. Take it out and see if that helps. Do you

have MS SNC pack installed?

 

support.microsoft.com/kb/912222

 

You must have it if you have TOE installed. I still think it has

something to do with the network.

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

I have had the same issue on the last two Dell servers I've purchased

(PE 1950 and PE 2950). Both with fresh installs of Windows 2003

Standard. The servers would reboot instead of shut down.

 

The issue are the Broadcom NIC's/drivers. Ultimately, I've disabled

the onboard NIC cards and replaced with another NIC. But below is

what I initially did to resolve the issue.

 

 

I just wanted to post this in case anyone in the future runs into the

same issue. I have a brand new PowerEdge 1950 server with Windows

2003 server with Service Pack 2 and all of the latest Microsoft

updates. Server has all current drivers/BIOS/firmware.

 

Problem: When I try to shutdown the system, the system re-boots.

When I press the power button to shut down, the system restarts.

Seeing that I was stumped, I reinstalled Windows 2003 server - and had

the exact same problem.

 

Answer: This server has dual gigabit Broadcom ethernet cards. Seeing

that I was only going to be using one of the NIC cards, I disabled the

other. Simply enabling the other NIC solved the problem.

Re: can not shut down server, just reboot.

 

An added note....

 

On the problem with the server I'm working on today.... disabling the

Broadcom NIC's in windows didn't work. I actually needed to go into

BIOS and disable the onboard NIC's and now all is well again.
