non-Free firmware for Ethernet cards
PowerEdge 1950 machines have 2 on-board Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet adapters. Firmware for adapters is non-free and must be loaded to perform the Debian installation.
An ISO image is available at http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/6.0.3/amd64/iso-cd/ which should include the bits necessary to use these adapters during the OS installation
