asterisk users - Sep 2006 - Dell Poweredge SC430 and Digium cards compatability enquiry

We're looking at using a number of Dell Poweredge SC430 servers as  
Asterisk hosts in our smaller overseas offices with Digium cards in  
to provide local breakout over the pre-existing analogue or digital  
phone lines (One office uses ISDN2 the others analogue)

I note that the SC420 is listed as incompatible but the SC430 appears  
to be a slightly different beast in terms of chipset, the 430 has the  
newer E7230 as opposed to the E7221 - does this make a difference to  
compatibility?

I'm using a 400SC with two TDM400P cards and a TrixBox install.  This is an
older version of the SC430 and it's been working like a champ.  I also have
an SC430, but I'm not using it for Asterisk, so I can't give you insight
on
that one.  Sorry.

Hello Matthew,
It depends on the chipset on the mainboard. I had problems with a
SC1420, the only way to solve it was to get a new server (without
Intel chipset). So don't try a chipset which is listed on the Digium
compatibility site.
