I got an email from Ed asking about his DL360 which has a RIB card (Remote Insight Board, the olden days version of ILO which used to be a separate card).

“The mouse doesn’t work very well, and it’s just slow any suggestions? Do I need to change the firmware? It’s just used to monitor some of our customer facing servers and it runs windows”

I’ve had this before, one thing I always do is reduce the screen resolution and colours on the desktop, that makes a big difference, simply changing from 16bit colour in windows to 256 makes an immediate improvement, at the same time making the resolution 640×480 or 800×600 should make everything a lot more responsive and useable.  Also check the firmware, but if it’s really old upgrade in stages to be really safe, I had a few problems where the settings reset when updating from 2.30 to 2.53 but then that could have just been that specific card/server.
