I did a bunch more plugging and testing yesterday... I took your advice and plugged the the HBA straight into the back plan and the 2 drives I have set up to test showed up! So right now I'm assuming the SAS Expander was bad? I tried to hook a molex cable and tried the pcie slot but neither worked. I get the new one next week and if it is the same I'll throw in the diagnostics. :)

Hello! My head hurts... So here is the issue and I have troubleshooted all I can.... Here is my hardware: Server: RM43-320-RS Motherboard: Gigabyte Z890 AORUS Master SAS Expander: ADAPTEC 2283400-R AEC-82885T HBA: Dell H310 flashed with LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode When I connect the SFF-8643 cables to the SAS expander nothing shows up in Unraid. I think from my troubleshooting, there is an issue from the backplane on the RM43, to the SAS expander. Because I got a SFF-8643 cable to SATA connection and that didn't work either. Then I just used a SATA to SATA connection to the Motherboard and the harddrive showed up in the BIOS and Unraid.... I'm so damn confused! I've tried multiple cables and nothing works... Any help is VERY WELCOME! :-)
