Hello!

I didn't see my card (LPm16002) in the list:

Hello,

you are right last version is 03.00.14

in the BIOS can you change some parameters on the card?

For example try to force speed to 16Gb speed.

Hello!

I think that it doesn't help.
Cause port not switch off physically. (no port errors).
Seems like iDRAC request port status every 5 seconds and sometimes it get status down.
Is it possible somehow influence at this requests?

Hello,

Even though the FC switches don't show any link failures, it's worth checking the physical connections and cables to ensure there are no intermittent issues.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, you might need to contact Dell support for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on your setup and the logs from your system.

Hello!

I cannot check physical connections and cables because M640 servers connected to switches via midplane.

Yes it could be some issue on the midplane. Can you contact tech support?
