ML370-G4 and 3C996B-T problem

[Marcin Michael]

Hello
I put 3C996B-T (1Gb LAN card)into PCI-X slot in HP ML370-G4 and get message on startup:
Unsupported card in PCI slot. System Halted.

Is there any possibility to use this card in this server?
I applied latest ROMBIOS, but doesn't help.

No. The card is not going to work in the system because of the chipset on the card. It falls into the same line up as some of the NC7770 cards also:

Try using a NC7771 card for the server:
