I had the same kind of problem few months back. Was never able to find a solution for it (No help from Gigabyte). It wasted 3 weeks of my time. Finally I decided to dump the Gigabyte 1U GS-SR101 server and bought a 1U server based on ServerWork LE chipset. The Gigabyte 1U GS-SR101 was nothing but problems.
