You need to be specific about the model of the server - Compaq are now
defunct, and "G5" can apply to a number of different types of
hardware. Depending on the server model, you may well find the same
technology in servers that don't carry a "G5" label...

Check and double-check firmware and drivers. You need to be 100%
certain that you're usign the latest, as there has been the odd issue
with certain NIC drivers that have been fixed recently, and you may
have hit one of them.
