Thanks Jef for the reply. I have that same card as you but it do not have a slot on this motherboard that it will fit in. It's a pci -x card. The 9650 is pci-e. I have not gone to any other consoles to see what is print there not sure I have a choice to do that but I might try it tomorrow. I get the message that it can not find updates or that it can not access updates on the media but I know the media is readable. I made the floppy from a usb floppy drive on another pc under windows and then moved the usb floppy to the server an tried that. I have also copied the drivers to a cd an tried that but does not work either. I be interested to see if the 9550 is seen out of the box like most 3ware cards are or not. At this point I need to find a raid card to use even if I go to something else besides 3ware. I have one pci-e slot an one regular pci slot free to use.
