Result
Operating system does not
boot with this unsupported
configuration.
Operating system does not
boot with this unsupported
configuration.
• Slot 8 must be occupied by a core I/O card for the
Lights-Out Advanced KVM card to function.
• If a core I/O board is not present, use the lowest
numbered cell with a core I/O board.
• Use slot 7, 8, or the lowest numbered slot in the
rootcell I/O chassis if a core I/O board is present.
When using slot 7 or 8, make sure there are no other
Lights-Out Advanced KVM cards in the I/O chassis,
or they will be selected over the cards in slots 7 or
8.
• Use the lowest numbered slot in the rootcell I/O
chassis if a core I/O board is present.
• If a core I/O board is not present, use the lowest
numbered cell with a core I/O board.
• Must be installed in slot 0 on Windows partitions.
• In acpiconfig = default mode, USB devices
(including vMedia) are not initialized by default.
• Use the search and map -r EFI Shell commands
to attach drivers and map file systems. (Create a
boot option to avoid this step on future resets.)
Use the lowest numbered slot in the rootcell I/O
chassis.
