ConnectX-5EN not detected by iDRAC
Hello forum,
i have a DELL PQ 730xd equipped with dual processors, and added a ConnectX-5EN to it (no DELL FW/"Branding", stock NVIDIA/MELLANOX).
I have installed latest firmware on NIC and also the latest iDRAC.
Also i have resetted iDRAC to it's factory defaults.
But i still i won't find the NVIDIA/MELLANOX NIC listed in the iDRAC inventory.
I now wonder
- whether i would have to configure the MELLNOX NIC properly (how?) to make it detectable to iDRAC?
- or whether this would never work anyways, since iDRAC integration would require to use a DELL firmware on the NIC?
Any hint would be highly appreciated.
Best

Hello forum,
sorry, found it: it is necessary to activate the "UEFI Expansion ROM X86" in the PCI config in the NVIDIA/MELLANOX firmware first, then reboot, and then iDRAC detected that NIC properly.
