The card shipped to me wasn't an Intel PRO/1000, it was an IBM D56146-003, and is not recognized during the ESXi installation. Any suggestions?

What's the chipset of the card? According to this page from VMware, your card may not be supported out-of-the-box on a clean install. Mine is 82571EB which is deprecated. Link: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd;=displayKC&externalId;=2056935

You can create a "white box" installation that has lots of other drivers installed.The intel is the only one by default so for my shuttle servers i built the white box and still used the dual intel card.

I dont understand the question sorry.what installed card are you talking about.

Genuine intel card, I cannot speak to the model number, I remember there being two cards that were basically identical in specs while I was reviewing my purchase. For Linux, there were no drivers necessary and I think it will be plug n play on anything above 7 for windows

I believe I had it running under server 2012. Hard to remember now since I got other one to run under esxi but I know for a fact it worked with Windows.

I tried installing it on a Lenovo Ideapad Y-500 and the proprietary BIOS on the machine prevented it from booting with the card present. There are hacks to permit the use of the card but for now it is waiting till I can put together a network box running pfsense. No idea if you would run into a similar issue with an AMD machine, good luck!

It should work just fine. I'm using one in my Gigabyte Z77 based ESXi server with no issues.

Although it is a server card and that's what I installed it into, it should as long as you have PCI Express slots open. You will have to look and see if Intel has drivers for Windows 8.1 Pro.

I don't know however it works fine with ESXi 5.1. I would go to the intel site and check if there are MAC drivers for this.

My system runs a x16. I guess looking up my possible candidates I didn't realize the obvious difference. I plugged the card in and it still works! However, I would advise looking for x16 still, because it sounds like that is not always the case.

I had this card with Win 8.1 x64. It was a nice card but refused to play nice with the integrated IRST. Drives would show up as failed causing a rebuild until I used the BIOS utility to turn OFF the INT13/EBDA(No BOOT support) and flashed. After I would still get misc drive errors that did not appear to affect anything other than the build in management utility showing an error. I seem to remember it passing SMART and temp data along to the OS as I am still using HardDisk Sentential Pro but I cannot be absolutely sure. Also I was not using Enterprise or WD RED drives which could account for some of the issues I was having. http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_rr600-download.htm The official driver page lists Server 2012 as supported. Windows Driver Windows Server 2012, 2008R2 / Windows 8.1,8,7 (32/64-bit) I am currently using a RocketRAID 2720SGL in a whs 2011 build and it has worked flawlessly since I turned off the INT13/EBDA in the BIOS and it is indeed passing SMART and Temp data to the OS.

From the quick search of your motherboard: Your board supports PCI-e The card is PCI-e 3.0 Generally devices are backwards comparable but you will experience slower bus speeds. I am not sure if you have 3.0 or not, but the card should work regardless. The only downfall I dislike about this specific card is it says it supports SLI, but does NOT actually have the ports. So it supports it, just cant use it? Thats silly to me.

On a fresh install I had no problem installing 4 of these into my Esxi 5 install. After booting up my machine again, the cards just showed up as additional nics that I could add to my current VMs. There might be a motherboard issue. I have heard that some people have to disable their motherboard Nic to get additional ones working.

best thing to do is go to msi web site and if not there ask on the board. if it is not listed on kingston or msi site then it is not fully supported.

We are possibly dealing with compatibility, I inserted this card in the MSI LGA 1155 Intel mainboard H61M-P31, it will accept both PCI express 3.0 X 16 & PCI express 2.0 X 16 slot. I had no problems.............................

need more information than this to give an exact answer. My best suggestion would be to contact MSI's helpdesk.

You should have no issues running ESXi on this. You would have to by an actual dedicated RAID card though as the on board is a fake RAID and probably isn't supported by ESXi.
