  HUGE MULTIBRIDGE PRO 2 PROBLEM WITH DELL PRECISION T5400

  Posted by Gorazd Koncar on January 27, 2008 at 8:10 pm

  Hi,

  I have huge problem with Dell precision T5400
  workstations and Multibridge Pro 2 units.

  When I connect the Blackmagic Multibridge Pro 2 units to
  any PCI express slot of the Dell workstations the unit
  can not be installed sucessfully with yellow sign
  and code 10 on the Win XP SP2.
  Please know that these Multibridge units work great in
  Supermicro old X6DA8 workstation or Dell precision
  490, 690 and they have been upgraded vis USB
  with the latestg firmware from your latest installer.

  Could you please help me?

  I have allready spoke with Mr. Scot from USA
  Blackmagic support and he said that it is the Dell
  issue and that BlackMagic officialy does not
  support Dell precision workstations and that
  the list of the supported workstation is
  on the Blackmagic web site. When I have looked
  at the list of the supported workstations any of
  them is not available anymore for months and the newer
  available workstations from HP or Dell are not listed.

  Multibridge PRO works in present great with the older
  Dell Precision 490 BIOS A07, 690 BIOS A07
  and why it would not work in the future with
  the allready released Dell precision T5400?
  And how can have the Dell Precision T5400
  ISV certification from Adobe Systems
  if it still does not work with the Multibridge Pro
  which is the hardware also certified by
  Adobe Systems?

  I have tried to install six different PCI Express
  cards in Dell precision T5400 and all works fine
  ( Areca PCI Express RAID cards, St LAB Firewire
  800\400 combo USB cards, Nvidia GF 8800 Ultra,
  GTX and GT and etc… )
  exept BlackMagic Multibridge Pro which can not
  be sucessfuly installed with yellow sign code 10.

  Could you please release the new drivers
  which shall be compatibile with the newer Intel 5400
  workstations chipsets, or that you can contact
  Dell to release the new BIOS which shall address
  the issues.

  I look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you
  in advance.

  Yours faithfuly,

  Gorazd.
