Poweredge VRTX brings down network

Has anyone ever experienced this before? We have 2 dell force 10 switches in our infrastructure and we just recently purchased a Poweredge VRTX with 2 blade servers for our environment. We installed the VRTX into the rack and powered it up but when we plugged the NIC Cards into the switch, our switch logs show a huge power draw and it maxes out the switch and crashes the entire switch requiring a reboot. We don't see any loops or other issues with the port configurations at the time.

I was unable to find any similar posts like this and I am not sure if this is even the proper forum for this post but I assume if I'm wrong it will be moved to the proper place by an admin. Any thoughts are more than welcome!

Which force 10 switches are you using? Are you plugging into the CMC ports? or to the I/O module on the back of the VRTX? Can you post up the logging messages from the force10 switches?

Thanks
