Please provide more detail. Which motherboard are you using? What pci-express device(s) are you using? Have you checked for a bios update for your board?
details: i am using quad-socket dual core Opteron Dell machines poweredge 6950 servers. the pci express device i am using is my own device (which i have designed). the chipset and the machines are the latest available in the market. the chipset i am using is Broadcom HT-2100 for the PCI express devices. and the Broadcom HT-1000 for the other I/O devices. it has 3.5" SAS drives.
i have searched their website but i don't think there is any BIOS upgrade available.
regards, Vishal
