DRAC initialization failure

[Naidu Bollineni]

I got a DRAC card added to an existing PE 1950 and on power up I see the
following messages at BIOS:

 

"Remote Access Controller detected

"!!*** Error: Remote Access controller initialization failure ***

RAC virtual USB devices may not be available...

 

All there was to connect this card was 2 connectors to the motherboard,
and Ethernet cable. Of course I can't use Ethernet cable without DRAC
initializing properly.

 

Previously I used to have BMC configured with an IP address from BIOS
and was responding OK for IPMI lan probes from another system (using
ipmitool on linux or ipmiutil.exe on windows).

 

I tried resetting the configuration to factory default and that didn't
help anything.

 

I could not find any troubleshooting guide for DRAC at the BIOS level.
It is OS independent and there has to be something that I may be
missing.

 

How can I fix this problem?

 

 

Thanks,

Naidu.
