R7525

On the R7525 with a CX94X, CRD,NTWK,PCIE,DP,25G,57414,FH, Slot 5 and the LOM, KHCTP, CRD,NTWK,BCME,OCP3,25G,2P,V2, after BIOS/UEFI firmware initialization, hit F2, the LOM, the leds are showing linked but the CX94X leds are not. The CX94X does become active after VMware loads and OS shows port up. I looked at all the setting between the CX94X and the KHCTP, not seeing a difference. Is this by design or am I missing something.

 

Thanks

    Hello,

    actually I don't know if is it normal or not that LEDs are showing after OS load.

    Can you test if CX94X is active with a LAN network scan? 

    Thanks

    Might be a bug, usually the nics will show LEDs when in the F2 screen, but I havnt played with those nics yet.

    Hello Marco,

    Thanks for responding, I am not a network engineer, so educate me, the card is not showing a link, the Switch port is not showing a link, the card doesn't grab a IP address until the OS loads, do you link the network scan will find the card?
