I know i experienced a problem with an Intel pro/1000 server adapter. when the computer that had that NIC was placed on the powerconnect 2724 it lost the ip configuration. I released and renewed without any luck. I placed that computer back to original switch ( a Netgear 1Gb switch) the nick started working normally again. I had to replace that nick with another intel pro/1000 model which worked ok. At least i know that model i mentioned you doesnt work with the powerconnect 2724.
