DL380G4 not compatible with RA4100?

[Terry Hutchings]

The BIOS of the DL380G4 has not been written to detect cards which are not 64bit/133Mhz capable and report them as unsupported.

There is no rule I'm aware of concerning specific requirements. I do know 53xx controllers and some nics (CN0437W) may have this issue.

I went ahead and tested this with a DL380 G4 and a NC3131 nic (64 bit/33 mhz) and it did not give me an error.

Do you have any of G4 servers yet? I believe this is going to apply to any server described in CN0437W. So if you test one of the HBAs you have in one of the server in that notice and it works, then you'll likely get it to work in the DL380 G4.

Obviously even if the HBA you do have installs and works fine, it will likely not be supported by HP. Supported = tested.

I have a DL360G4 and I am having exactly the same problem when trying to install a 3COM gigabit server NIC. Please can you let me know if the NC7771 is compatible with this box?
