Thanks. One of the replies was that the TE110P does have some issues with certain motherboards. If I remember well the problem you are having can only be solved by power cycling the complete system.

But I can very well imagine that inserting 2 Digium cards into the 2850 will lead to problems. The 2850 has three PCI slots, the first is sharing it's interrupt with the Perc RAID controller, the other 2 slots each share their interrupt with an onboard NIC.

In your case you will never be able to give each card their own interrupt, you would need another PCI slot.

Right now zttest is showing me pretty consistent results. The result is always exactly 99.987793% nothing more and in about 1 of 35 probes I get a 100% score.

Because 99.987793% is still regarded as the minimum acceptable I might leave things as they are. Or maybe (because the cost is limited) I may start looking for a 2 port, gbit ethernet card and disable the onboard nic's in the 2850 to make sure the digium card has it's own irq. When I have time I will try disabling the onboard nic's first to see if that actually improves the scores, the last time I was messing with the 2850 I think I didn't see any improvement but then again I can't remember exactly anymore what I have / haven't tried.

Good luck, hope they will find the problem soon!

Cheers! Remco

I have many problems with this server and two cards TE4110P, because after
several minutes
one of two cards stays out without sending anyone alarm and then offer a NMI
alarm i suppose
that it is to cause the sharing IRQ, it´s a ticket for a DIGIUM

Also the 2850 is *always* sharing IRQ's on every PCI slot, you need to buy
a dual port ethernet adapter which will use only one irq to free up an IRQ
on another slot. This just totally sucks and irq sharing in a box with
only 3 pci slots is totally unnecessary

Because we only needed 1 NIC, we disabled the 2nd onboard NIC. That
made 1 pci slot free of IRQ sharing, making the system stable and
performing very well.

cheers
