DL380 G4 Embeded NIC

[Paul Fagg_2]

Hi All,
I have the above server and have disabled one NIC in the bios. I have loaded up MS Server 2003 with SP1.

Even though i have disabled the NIC in bios, windows still sees it.

Any ideas here?

Thank you.

Hi,

what option did you use to disable the NIC in RBSU? Are you sure you didn't just disable the PXE boot funtion?

Regards,

LOL.........yes i did.
I actually disabled the PXE functions on both nics. System options, Embeded Nic Port * PXE Support

Then went to the ROM setup screen, PCI devices, and disabled the PCI embeded port 2

OK, just had to make sure :-)
Then I'm stuck, because if you disabled it in the PCI devices menu, then I would think it should not show up in the OS. Haven't actually tried this myself, so I can't give a definite answer. If I want a NIC disabled in Windows I usually just disable it there.

Regards,
Stephen
