HP DL380 G7, 4 network ports.. only 2 installed ??

[BEN_UK]

Hello,

In the process of setting up a HP DL380 G7 server which has 4 network ports.

I have installed Windows 2008 Server Standard then the latest PSP from HP.

In device manager it lists 2 network ports as installed and then the other 2 in other devices with yellow marks next to them.

Whatever i try i cant get them in install

Found a couple of posts on google but with no replies

Anyone come across this before ??

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the reply.

I have used the smart CD, will give it another go tomorrow and see if we get any further. The CD's that came with it dint seem to helpful hence i downloaded the PSP from HP.com

On the front on the server theres 4 NIC led's, 1+2 give no activity but 3+4 seem to work once plugged in.

2 different makes of network card in the same server seems strange ?? is that just me ??

Thanks again for replying.

Did you install the OS by booting off the smartstart cd first, or have you just installed windows then a few drivers?

We set up the RAID then booted of the server 2008 disk and installed windows.

Followed by the PSP pack, latest version from hp's web site.

Will get a screen grab later

Thanks Ben

Ok next time i will boot of the smart CD before installing windows.

I have put the latest PSP on and still it wont install.

Raised a support ticket with HP, see what they come up with.

Will update when i hear from them.

Thanks Ben

Just to update the thread.

Had the HP engineer out today to replace the main board in the server !

This has now fixed the problem

All 4 network ports working
