Could you be more specific as to what the issue is? Are there no networking devices listed as available in the OS, or are you not able to connect to the network after configuring the ports in the OS?
Which network daughter card do you have in the M620? Which slot is the M620 in and which ports do you have network cables connected to? Do you have a pass-through module or a PowerConnect switch? Are you having the same issue on both M620s?
I have 2 blades on the top left and lower left slots. Them I have 4 nic cables plugged into the io module on the first 4 nic ports starting from the left.
�
The server shows nic is connected but no networking . cannot find Mac in switch either.
Please tell me the slot numbers they are in. I'm guessing you have the server on it's side, but I'm not sure.
Server 1 - Ports 1/2 Server 2 - Ports 3/4 Server 3 - Ports 5/6 Server 4 - Ports 7/8
Please answer the rest of my questions as well. I'm assuming you are using a pass-through module connected to a switch. What switch is it connected to? If it is a cisco/force10 switch then you might need to turn the interfaces on as by default interfaces are disabled on those switches.
on the vrtx management contoller, it says localhost and slot 2. I do not have it on the side. its facing up. Then I have the top left anf bottom left slots populated when viewed from the front.
also on the I/O faric intefaces on the server this is what i see
the problem i have is that the switch module on the vrtx is having problem with connecting to my cisco nexus. since both are switches, do i need to configure anything on both cisco and vrtx ports?
The optional switch in the VRTX by default is wide open without any vlans (other than vlan 1). This typically should allow a single cable to connect to any other switch and work just fine.
If you want to use 2 cables or any vlan tagging, then the switches will need to be configured to be able to communicate with eachother.

Hello tdubb123
Could you be more specific as to what the issue is? Are there no networking devices listed as available in the OS, or are you not able to connect to the network after configuring the ports in the OS?
Did you install ESXi using our custom image? http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/Product/poweredge-m620p?driverId=V1P4T&osCode=XI51&fileId=3230226234&languageCode=EN&categoryId=EC
Which network daughter card do you have in the M620?
Which slot is the M620 in and which ports do you have network cables connected to?
Do you have a pass-through module or a PowerConnect switch?
Are you having the same issue on both M620s?
Thanks
