Yuval,

All you can try to do to restore the Integrated Netraid would be to clear CMOS and reseat the i/o cache above the top PCI slot. Otherwise, you've lost the netraid controller and need the i/o board replaced.

I can't recall where reseatin the i/o cache has brought back the adapter, but it is worth an attempt.

Ciao,
Greg

I believe there are different firmware versions for U2 and U3 IO boards. Could this be the problem ?

Martin,

The error would not be caused by a U2 i/o board in a U3 system, we could downgrade the bios to U2 and make it compatible. The issue is the controller itself has stopped responding.
