Action
1. Change the order of the adapters in the PCI-X
slots. Make sure that the boot device is
positioned early in the scan order (see the User's

an adapter to make memory available to the
adapter. Disabling the BIOS on the adapter
should correct the error. See the documentation
that comes with the adapter.
