Sitting on the breadboard right now. I can get into the BIOS and even boot to the unRAID USB with the CPU, RAM, and m.2 SSD insalled, but with the LSI card in the x16 slot I get nothing but a blank screen. The green LED on the card is blinking and the heatsink is getting warm, but still no magic after 15 minutes in this state. This is a used/refurb card that I found on eBay advertised as already flashed into IT mode and ready for unRAID, trueNAS, etc.
At this point, I'm wondering about two things: 1) is this card compatible with my motherboard? I did a cursory search but didn't turn up anything meaningful. I can't imagine why they shouldn't work together, but it's one possibility. 2) is this card working as it should? I got it from a reputable seller, but I suppose unexpected failures can and do occur during shipping.
I have been crawling through a few forum posts of people with problems similar to mine, but none of what I've found seems to be getting me anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
