Hi!

How do you know it's overheating?

Perhaps if you put it in a colder place.. :)

If you have a BBWC to the P410 you could try to disconnect that and see if it works better.

When we touch the server at back side where we installed card it very hot. Also, back side of card also very hot.

BBWC is not present.

Thanks,

You can use SPP to run diagnostics test on the server: http://hp.com/go/spp 

If your server is overheating, perhaps you should take care of that before trying to install an OS.
