Hi David
A PCI riser card may help:

We have a single riser card on our old cluster compute nodes for the
bulky Myrinet-2000 cards (same S2466 motherboard, 2U chassis).
However, we don't have a graphics card on the compute nodes.
I wonder how you can fit both (if graphics is needed).
Maybe with two riser cards of different heights.

The manual says that jumper J86 disables/enables

Onboard Ethernet is *disabled* when the jumper is *closed*.
(It is probably open now, no jumper,
assuming onboard Ethernet is currently enabled.)
You are right. The jumper was under the graphics card, which was
mounted sideways in an AGP to PCI adapter. (No idea why they didn't
just put it in a PCI slot in the first place.) Hopefully disabling the
onboard NIC will do it, because the PS and disk have been eliminated as
possible trouble spots.
Also, it is unclear whether PXE boot will work with a PCI NIC,
but it may.
First got to find a half height NIC to fit in the case, then I'll let
you know.
Putting that jumper on did eliminate the onboard PXE part of the boot
sequence.
Thanks,
