OutToBrunch, The issue you are having I am sure is due to the controller being so far out of date on the firmware. My first step would be to update the controller. If the error persists beyond that, since you have already reseated it, I would replace the battery. Here is the update you will need - [URL] In regards to the E1410, there are a large variety of issues that can cause the error. I would look at the BIOS version and update if needed. Also you may want to reseat the raid controller as well. Let me know how it goes.
I recently acquired a poweredge 2950 with service tag (SVCTAG removed by admin) w/o an OS, and I'm working on setting it up.  The first thing I noticed was the E1211 Romb battery error.  I unplugged the cord to the battery and plugged it back in to see if that would fix it, but it did not. So, I figure I need to replace the battery. Then I booted from a Ubuntu Server install disc just to test it out.  I clicked through several steps of the install process and then canceled.  Then I set up two virtual discs in the RAID controller (a RAID 1 and a RAID 5) in order to have something to install ubuntu to.  Then when I boot from the install disc I can click through one part of the install process and then I get a blank screen and the LCD shows e1410 errors for both CPUs.  I then removed the RAID configuration that I had just created to see if that led to the e1410 errors.  After removing the RAID configuration I booted from the install disc and did not get the e1410 errors.  Do you think if I replace the battery the CPU errors will be resolved?  I also noticed one of the drives (6 of them) has a SMART status Error. The RAID is PERC 5/i 5.0.2-0003 with firmware version 1.00.02-0157.  I haven't tried updating any firmware.  Any ideas what might be causing the e1410 CPU error?
