how do i fix this? and why is it so hard to add a nic......

[Gothix]

the pix show the problem. and the title shows my frustration..... i added a 10g NIC and now i have this. i cant remove the old nic it is on the board so i am stuck with this problem. i dont want the on board nic at all and i do not know linux comand line...... so if "its easy just do it in the terminal" ill be just as lost.....

You can probably disable the onboard NIC in your BIOS.

 

Or you can go to Settings -> Network Settings -> Interface rules and adjust so that the 10GB nic is eth0

 

Either way, note that when your server reboots it will get a different IP address from the router since the 10GB nic has a different mac address. It might help to have a monitor on the server so you can see the ip address on the console when the system boots.
