[Asterisk-Users] Re: Anyone aware of a current Dell servermodelwith 3PCI slots

[Ryan Amos]

As a side note:

Don't expect to use a TDM400P card with any of the S110M modules; the
PE2850 does not have any internal power connectors to connect to the PCI
card. Kinda bummed me out.

And yes, you can (kind of) set the PCI IRQs in the BIOS. And Dell's
network cards do seem to have IRQ conflicts, though I was under the
impression that the 2850s were resolved with respect to this (the 2650s
do not work with Digium cards, but the 2850 should be fine.)

I haven't actually gotten asterisk working on this setup, mind you, I'm
still waiting on some VoIP phones to come in via UPS...

I know of an install using a 2850 where it ran much better after they
disabled the onboard network card.
