Other Devices: Base system device, PCI device, Unknown Device

[Mario N.]

An ML350 G5 and a DL380G5, both running Windows Server 2003, show in "Device Manager" 3 "Other devices" marked bt a yellow question marks.
The 3 devices are:
- "Base system device"
- "PCI device"
- "Unknown device"
I can't say if the servers were installed using SmartStart or any other setup method.
Which devicves are the 3 devices supposed to be?
Where can I locate the drivers? I was unable to locate the drivers either making Windows look at the SmartStart CD and in Internet...
Shoud I expect any problem or malfunction if I just leave them unfixed?
Regards
Marius

Hi Marius,

It's probably the ILO interface.

Try this driver kit for Server 2003.

Should I expect any problem or malfunction if I just leave the problem unfixed?

Try the 3 drivers mentioned.
Why wait for a malfunction or Problem ?
