ESX 3.5 U3 can't see extra Network card in BL460c

Hello!

I have a new installation of 16 HP Proliant BL460c in a HP C-Class 7000 chassi. all of these have two mezzanine cards one Emulex LPe1105 HBA and one NC360m Nic adapter.

In Bios and in On Board Administrator I can see both cards and everything looks fine. After ESX (3.5 u3)installation and when I look under Network adapters ESX only display the two internel nic's, the EMulex card is displayd and look's OK but I can't see the two extra nic's I should get from the NC360m?

Does anyone seen this before and how did you resolve it?

Try to swap the mezzanine with another blade that's working...

NC360 it's supported by ESX.

We have other installations with NC360m and there is no problem with that one, and yes I can see 4nic's in bios and from the Blad administration. What is COS and how does I controll that?

None of the 16 blades display the extra nic's, so I don't think i helps to swap them between the blades.

Do you see any configuration error in C7000 Insight Display?
