Sean, Just to clarify. The PHY module will not link if connected to a 10MB or 100 MB infrastructure as the PHY module only supports gigabit speed.  Also, the layout of the ports on the module are  9   - 7 - 5 - 3 - 1 10 - 8 - 6 - 4 - 2 Just to make sure you were actually connecting to port 1.
Hello everyone. I am new to the whole blade server system, and I have a question about the 1855 GbE passthrough cards. How do they work? I incorrectly assumed that I could just plug in to port 1 on either of the two passthrough cards I have installed and have it be connected to the first blade. I've looked through the DRAC that I have installed and have found no configuration help. I do need to mention that I have an analog KVM currently, that might be the source of some of the issues. I've ordered a digital, but it won't arrive until next week. Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Sean
