Hi cdelgadop,

Thank you very much for the reply, i have replaced the cards with single port IBM FC 5701,

Since i was short on long slots i have placed this cards in short slots will it couse any problem to the system since a small portion of the circuit remains outside the slot but the cards are working fine i can see then available,

i have used the slots for display card/ 2 number fibre cards/ scsi card so i remain with only 2 slots one long and one short
one short i used for one network cars (5701)and one long i have used for another network card (5701)

Again thank you very much for the reply.
