Ok so i was being silly and a shutdown solved it - i had just rebooted which didn't work. I'd forgotten the 1st rule of tech support: Turn it OFF, then turn it back ON. 🤪 Thread can be locked \ closed.

Hello Having a bit of an issue and reall stuck now.. I'm on 6.11.0. I had the Basic version of Unraid and was running: 2x Parity 3x storage USB for key Cache drive I then added a new drive with Unassigned Devices. Everything was ok until i had to move my server and shutdown, when starting back up i got the message that i had too many drives. Being a cheapskate as funds were tight at the time (3 - 4 months ago) i recall going in and just removing the cache drive - just in the Unraid OS, not physically. I've now upgraded to the Plus version, and gone to re-add the cache drive back, but it's not being picked up in the Unraid OS - it doesn't show up anywhere i can see as an unassigned device or anything. I can't seem to find any setting or way to "re-scan" drives to look for it - it's a 1gb Kingston SSD so i know it's not being picked up as i can tell from the other drive sizes and because everything else is showing up OK and accounted for. Does anyone know what i need to do here? Do i need to shutdown, unplug drive, start up, then shutdown again, plug back in to get it to register again? (thought i'd ask for help first before climbing into the loft where the server is!!!) I've lost Docker and my VMs too ("service failed to start" error) so i must have had them stored on Cache drive. A bit stuck so any advice is welcome!!!

Swapped PCIE slots and it still works, so not power related. It was either the Gen 1,2,3 not being set right so the riser and card wouldn't work, or having boot allowed to pick between UEFI and Legacy that was the issue. @ich777 Thank you for supporting this plugin and for your help on here, not just to me but through all the other posts i read through last night trying to troubleshoot Now, to Spaceinvaderone youtube to finish my setup !!!

Finally! Guess it was either: PCIE slot 1 and 2 not providing enough power Legacy or UEFI boot option The auto setting for PCI Gen 1,2,3 causing the riser to not be recognised (i had that with my main desktop build.)

OK!!! So i put the riser cable into the one PCIE slot i had not tried yet, as it held my 2 port SATA card, and moved that away. I went into BIOS and changed "Legacy or UEFI" to just "Legacy" in the boot options, and turned the Auto PCIE speed selection to 2nd Gen. I also set to prefer Offboard GPU Dug out a mini display port to HDMI adapter and boom - logged into WebGUI direct from new Server GPU. Seeing if i can sort this Nvidia driver out now...

I have just now - plugged it using the riser cable into my modern desktop, installed drivers and it was recognised fine. I ran part of a TimeSpy test and it worked fine on that, although the FPS was poor, as expected on such a tough test. Also played Doom and Arkham City on Steam and they worked. I boot in Legacy according to UnRaid flash info. So i'm sure the card works as it should, as does the cable

Here you go. Log was probably just my copy and paste error. Hardware: Supermicro - X9SCM (Rev 1.11A) Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1220 V2 @ 3.10GHz 16gb RAM Nvidia Quadro P400 v2 4x 4tb WD RED 1x 3tb WD RED 1x 250g SSD Cache 2 port SATA III card (SSD attached to it) 550w PSU My motherboard doesn't have PCIE 16x sized sockets so i picked up an ADT 8x to 16x riser cable (currently fitted) and a Dell riser card (this won't work, by GPU would lay horizontal and there isn't quite enough room with my SATA card in too..so no go). tower-diagnostics-20210608-0853.zip

Hello - i hope someone can help. I've installed an Nvidia Quadro P400v2 GPU into my box (UnRaid 6.9.2) and it's found by the System (along with onboard Matrox graphics): When i try and install the latest Nvidia GPU (i downloaded it, then turned Docker off then on as per instructions) i get this message: Console log has this error: I am using a riser cable as i needed to convert PCIEx8 slot into a PCIEx16 size slot. I also have option of using a Dell riser card. Are there any other steps i need to take (in my BIOS for example) to get this working? The card is recognised and works so i can't see why the driver can't see it? Thanks for any advice!
