older dl145 driver issue NIC

[tatted]

Hello all, picked up a refurbished DL145 G2 server to run as a print server, the problem is no driver discs were with the unit and W23R2 does not see the NIC's. does anyone maybe know what driver is to be used for the NIC's in this unit?

Thank you kindly

Hi,

The DL145 uses Broadcom BSM57xx NIC controllers (BSM5704 and BSM5721). The HP Proliant NC-series drivers will not work on these Broadcom NICs ;)

So check the Broadcom Website to get your drivers

Select the BCM57xx Drivers and the appropriate operating system.
Download and install the updated drivers.

Cheers
Mike
