I have checked the BIOS setting. It is set to 378.

Paul Corner has mentioned the same thing in his reply. It seems that using a
PCI card is not an option with EMC. Thank you for your reply. I will remove
the card when I have time (tomorrow) and try again from there. I will also
re-check the .ini file to make sure that I haven't missed anything. I will
report back on my progress.
