Dell 1855 - Qlogic Card[Scanned]

[Carl Pickering]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for that... I've just gone through my BIOS revisions.. The BIOS that it was failing on was C44... (How old is that likely to be?)

The rest of my revisions range from A01 to A05

I'll be doing some updates now then.. Great.. LOL!

Thanks

Carl

How old are these blades? It may be that you need a bios upgrade before you can use the daughter cards, although I know that bios A04 should work (we've got blades with that revision and those cards).
