Fusion-io ioDrive2 3.0TB, Product Number:F01-001-2T41-CS-0001, FIO SN:1149D0969
External Power: NOT connected
PCIe Power limit threshold: 24.75W
Connected ioMemory modules:
fct2: SN:1149D0969-1121
fct3: SN:1149D0969-1111
In this example, 1149D0969 is the adapter serial number. If you have multiple Fusion ioDrive3 devices
installed in your system, use the

For example:
options iomemory-vsl external_power_override=1149D0969,1159E0972
Reboot the server or unload and then load the drivers to enforce the parameter changes.
Step 3
Installing Multiple PCIe Cards and Resolving Limited Resources
When a large number of PCIe add-on cards are installed in the server, the system might run out of the
following resources required for PCIe devices:
•
•
The topics in this section provide guidelines for resolving the issues related to these limited resources:

•
Resolving Insufficient Memory Space to Execute Option ROMs
The system has very limited memory to execute PCIe legacy option ROMs, so when a large number of
PCIe add-on cards are installed in the server, the system BIOS might not able to execute all of the option
ROMs. The system BIOS loads and executes the option ROMs in the order that the PCIe cards are
enumerated (slot 1, slot 2, slot 3, and so on).
If the system BIOS does not have sufficient memory space to load any PCIe option ROM, it skips loading
that option ROM, reports a system event log (SEL) event to the Cisco IMC controller and reports the
following error in the Error Manager page of the BIOS Setup utility:
ERROR CODE SEVERITY
146
OL-32473-01
There is also a serial number label on the card, but we recommend that you use the
command to confirm the serial number is an adapter serial number (FIO SN in the sample output
above).
