I have Dell R720. It shows firstly error related to NIC card which solution was changing Motherboard (as new NIC also gave same error) due to which i need to replace the Motherboard, but when i install another Motherboard it did not boots with RAID controller but shows RAID config in BIOS. I thought its DOA board so i replace it again but issue is still same and during post it shows the following error,
plug and play config error:
option ROM shadow RAM allocation error
No shadow memory available for option ROM
Integrated RAID
Bus 3 Device 0 Function 0 Integrated RAID
kindly provide solution for this as this issue is already delayed and now critical also.
I will try it but now i cannot afford downtime again and again, Just to confirm what if the issue still exist what can be solution then and what if this issue is vanished.
Kindly share the solution for the both condition so i can close the call in one go rather than take down time again and again.
I replace Motherboard, then i face issue in Dell R710 when i connect my server to SAN through SAS cables then shows following error and also not show raid controller.
Bus 4 Device 0 function 0 slot 5
Bus 3 device 0 function 0 Integrated RAID
and when i remove NIC then it boots normally.
also i replaced NIC card and RAID controller but have same issue. Currently NIC card is newly installed and RAID controller is old.
BIOS and RAID controller firmware are updated.
I think it is due to conflict between NIC and sas cables or something help.

Its IBM SAN storage which is connected with it since more than last 2 years and was working fine. That issue appear after the board change and on old Motherboard it give halt message when NIC is installed.
I "disable boot" of all slots. Now server is working fine. It seems that server was going to boot from SAN. If there is any other option than this than please advice or any settings in BIOS so i can also check this.
