Due to a damaged PCI-E interface, the motherboard was replaced on this HP ProLiant DL380 G5.
Every boot the POST reports:
System currently defaulted to typical configuration settings
Any configuration changes made in the BIOS will be reset to the default due to this. This is preventing the installation of ESXi because "No-Execute Memory Protection" cannot be enabled.
I checked / reset the dip switch for BIOS reset.
I replace BIOS battery for good measure.
I entered the serial / part number in BIOS (which gets reset also).
I re flashed the BIOS with the most current current version.
I ran a full test error free with the HP Service Pack for ProLiant.
Can anyone think of anything I missed or may need to configure for this new motherboard?
