Another day, another apparant unexplained hardware incompatibility.<br><br>I have a TE412P and a TDM400B living quite happily in a whitebox using an Intel motherboard:<br><br><a href="http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/se7230nh1-e/index.htm">
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/se7230nh1-e/index.htm</a><br><br>I tried to move to an IBM x3650 system. It uses a slightly newer chipset, but apparantly it's in the same family. The SE-7230 board has been EOL'd and the suggested replacement uses the same chipset as the x3650. I had to get a PCI-X riser cage to put the cards into, as the server only supports PCIe as shipped.
<br><br><a href="http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/rack/x3650/specs.html">http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/rack/x3650/specs.html</a><br><br>When I just have the TE412P in the server, no problems. If I put both the TE412P and the TDM400B in, I get no end of errors. When I put the TE412P in the first PCI-X slot and the TDM400B in the second, then none of my PRI channels will get out of red alarm - they go red as soon as I load zaptel, and stay there through ztcfg, starting asterisk, restarting zaptel via the Asterisk CLI, etc.
<br><br>If I swap the cards, then only one of the ports (#4) stays in red alarm, while the other 3 seem to be fine.<br><br>I checked /proc/interrupts, and both cards were getting their own interrupt (forgot to save the output unfortunately, and I'm back on the original hardware right now).
<br><br>Has anyone run this type of hardware combo successfully, or had similar problems on other hardware that they got around?<br><br>Thanks<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>j.
