Hi<br />
<br />
I am trying to install a new usb2 pci card into an IBM Netfinity 7000 M10 server and i seem to be having little success<br />
<br />
i have plugged it into various different slots and put the little flap that turns the power off down and the power light for that slot will not come on.<br />
<br />
this server has recently been reformatted with windows 2003 and i cannot work out for the life of me why it will not work<br />
<br />
i have tried the card in my normal pc and it works so it is not that<br />
<br />
any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Installing new USB PCI card into Netfinity 7000 M10

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.
