If you're running Windows, an HP-UX forum may
not be the best place for your question.

Do you have the latest driver update?

There does not seem to be 2003 drivers accompanying the board, since it was introduced before Windows 2003 - so you probably need the update.

Also from this earlier forum discussion it seems this old NIC requires 5V while the ML370 G4 only supports the newer standard of 3.3V
