The controller are all on the motherboard, I believe.

But why does it work with it as a 'module' but not compiled
in? That's the part I'm stumped on. I mean if I want to boot, I can

I am just wanting to know why 1 works and not the other. Very very strange,
IMO.

It's a 4-CPU Xeon based, 1G, low end server we sell.
