R515 - Trying to identify missing driver

Question

I've just put Server 2008 on a PowerEdge R515, and the device manager showed the only missing drivers were the network drivers and a PCI Device. I installed the network drivers, no problem there. But I have no idea what the 'PCI Device' is. I tried installing the driver automatically through Windows, but it couldn't find one. Does anyone know what this driver is?

Try this:

Download and run to extract, then run C:\Openmanage\windows\setup.exe.

2008 or 2008 R2? If 2008, x86 or x64?

The software installed, but the device still reports that it's missing a driver.

2008 Standard x64 bit. I'm downloading this to try it now. Thanks!

Assuming you meant to put 1002 as the VEN ID, that is AMD. The R515 uses AMD processors, so it has to do something with the chipset or a processor feature. The onboard video is a Matrox device.

So, you could try this:

Matrox Video:

Or you could try using one of the driver packs to see if there is some obscure driver hidden in there somewhere:

You could also try the chipset drivers for 2003x64:

In case they aren't native to 2008 like they should be (or not working because of firmware mismatches, etc.).
