3.  We have a SSG-121E-NE316R that we would like to boot the system via iSCSI via the on-board X550 interfaces.  However the iSCSI boot option does not appear for them in the BIOS boot manager options. Is the system capable of this feature, or do we need a special NVM for the X550 interfaces to enable it? (06/06/2025)

SYS-421GE-TNRT3;  GPU’s are failed in slots 5,6, and 7,8. PCI-e slots 7,8 were where the bad card was in, swapped to 5,6 and still showed same behavior.
I would have to open server to get tag information of cables, but since it’s a production server I was not able to provide that info.
I tried swapping positions of GPU but would Freeze up system within 5 min of uptime so removed bad GPU card.
