Host fails to POST after setting port mode of XL710-QDA1 via EPCT

We have changed the port mode of a XL710-QDA1 via EPCT (v1.39.56.9, Linux x86_64) from 1x40 to 4x10 and rebooted the host as instructed. However, the host then fails to POST - powers on, fans spinning but nothing on screen/remote KVM. This persists despite multiple tries of warm boot/cold boot/power cycle. The host POSTs successfully only if the card is removed.

What could be the problem? Is there a way to reset the settings of the card through a jumper?

Thanks.

Thank you for your response. I've ran the utility but it complained about the OS not being supported, so I hope the info is useful.

The system is a Dell R630 running Debian Linux. The card itself is a XL710QDA1BLK. It was not installed when SSU is run because the system would not POST with the card installed.

Happy to provide further information as necessary

Hello J Tay,


You would need to update the firmware without the card install.
