Can't get NC510 PCIe 10 NIC Installed

[Jgezels]

Hi

Just bought two HP NC510C PCIe 10 Gigabit server adapters. They came in a box without any driver so I fired up a browser and downloaded the drivers.....

I'm using a DL380 G5 Win2003 64Bit R2 and when I try to install the drivers, the system says there is no hardware found that works with these drivers nevertheless New hardware was detected and shown in the device manager....

Any one has some pointers?

Thanks

Are you using this driver?

Also, can you check in System Management Homepage if it detects the new NIC? You can also use Insight diagnostics report utility.

Hi

Yep, that's the driver I used (and all the others that where mentioned if you do a search for that nic)

I'm installing another DL380 (32bit) now and I'll try to install the NIC on that one

I'll keep you posted

Hello,

>New hardware was detected and shown in the device manager.

Instead of installing the Drivers Directly; Can you install them thru the Device manager > Right Click the NIC & update driver > then point it to the Driver location ?

:D allready tried that but unfortunatly no luck ....

Hmm :)

Maybe a stupid question, but how much ram do you have? Cause in the quickspecs it says:

NOTE: A minimum of 1 gigabyte (1 GB) of server memory is required per each NC510C adapter.

the link above is from 2006

- remove card

hi again

it never a bad idea to have the latest firmware for your System ROM
