Maybe its just bad luck here :)
I remember a story about two similar HP proliants.. same model number, ordered the same day, same hardware configuration etc..
The other one had problems with a lot of things, while the other one was working perfectly well..
Looking at the serial numbers in more detail revealed the non-working one was assembled in Malaysia, while the working one was assembled in Ireland.. (iirc). :)
IMO the most likely reason for one server working and not another one would be HP shipping (or bounce-your-servers-around-the-globe as I like to call it)...
Uhm, should have been more clear about that, I didn't mean shipping/transportation problems, there was some feature that didn't work in the other one, because the motherboard was different iirc.
I can't remember the details anymore.
