Blade BL460c G6 Missing NICs

We're installing a new blade setup and having problems with just this one blade (out of three) where when we install Windows 2003 and the PSP everything installs, but the NICs will not show up. And in the device manager under System Devices it has all 8 NICs (HP NC532i DP) showing with exclamation marks.

Also, since this is a pretty new install, all of the firmware is the latest the Bios ROM version is I24 10/01/2009 already.

And we don't have any mezzanine cards... just the two onboard 10GB Flex-10 NICs.

Re: Blade BL460c G6 Missing NICs

I believe I've isolated it to the physical blade hardware... not sure why it bombed out since it's brand new though.

I swapped hard drives with a good blade that was working and the good one now shows the bad NICs and the hard drives that were in the bad blade and now in the new blade is working now.

Thanks for the help!

Try updating the broadcom NIC firmware as well.
