Expansion-Card Slot Restrictions
Intel PRO/1000 MT Dual-Port Server Adapter Expansion-Card Slot 2 Restriction
Do not install an Intel PRO/1000 MT dual-port server adapter card in expansion-card slot 2. Your
system's expansion-card slot 2 is a hot-pluggable PCI-X connector, and the Intel PRO/1000 MT dual-port
server adapter card does not support hot-pluggable slot capabilities. If this adapter model is installed in
slot 2 and the AC power cord is disconnected from the system or if AC power is lost, the card is not
detected by BIOS when the system is turned on.
NOTE:
Although the slot 2 indicator is green after the system is turned on following an AC power loss,
the Intel PRO/1000 MT dual-port server adapter card is not detected by BIOS.
This restriction does not apply to the Intel PRO/1000 MT single-port server adapter card.
Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 Expansion-Card Slot Restriction
If you add an Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 to a system running the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
operating system, and a Dell™ Remote Access Controller 4/P (DRAC 4/P) card is installed in expansion-
card slot 7, the Adaptec 39160 card must be installed in expansion-card slot 2.
System Start-Up Behavior
The following system behaviors during system start-up are normal and do not indicate a problem with
the system:
• When AC power is applied to the system, if the System Setup program's AC Power Recovery option is
not set to allow the system to power up when AC power is applied, the cooling fans will spin-up briefly
and then stop. (See your User's Guide for information on the System Setup program.)
• It may take 30 seconds or longer for video to display after the system is powered on.
Integrated NIC IPMI Port Functionality
If you configure the integrated NIC for Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) pass-through
traffic, and you also configure the system to boot from the network using the same IPMI port, the NIC
will not be available for management traffic during system boot. After system boot is completed, IPMI
functionality is automatically restored.
In addition, if you configure the NIC to support IPMI management traffic, the NIC driver's
Large-Send Offload (LSO) feature will be disabled on that port.
Remote Access Controller Card Interaction With Integrated Video
If you install an optional remote access controller card for remote systems management, the system's
front and back panel video ports will be disabled.
