This is rev B of this document:

http://docs.hp.com/en/AB551-90001_Rev_B/AB551-90001_Rev_B.pdf

"...rp4410/40 â The AB551A graphics card can be placed in PCI slot 7 or 8."

Looks like you need 11i v2 to make this work.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for thw info, just to share with you guys what I have done. The doc on AB551 rev A and Rev B is too brief. It does not indicate how to configure the CDE on the server which I think it was default without configuration.

Pls note,

The card AB551 can be use on RP4440 server, with 11.11 OS . I'm running it now.

Attach are some configuration send by HP Engineer for your referrence, which I have made all the necessary changes and is working fine. Also, I know it state to use slot 7 and 8. But i try with slot 6 it is working also.

Here is the info from HP who analysize what happen on my server and the necessary action.

Hi,
I have a similar problem on my rp3410 box (11.11). I am not able to get into the CDE environment. After successful login (root) i am hanging on CDE Welcome screen (blue one) even after completing all above steps.
Any advice?
Do I really need 11i v2 to make it work?
Thanks,
N.
