Hi again. Thanks for your help. The LED wasn't on at all, and I tried it on an old computer board that I found, and had the same result. I've arranged a refund from the seller. I guess it's time to try again!

Thank you for the welcome! And thanks for the tip about the .nsh files. I didn't see any sign from it during boot. Would it do that even without any drives plugged into it?

Hi, The other day I got a Dell H310 from ebay. I downloaded the latest toolkit from here, and booted into FreeDOS. 1.bat failed saying that megacli didn't work, and sas2flash.exe had the PAL error. So I booted into the EFI terminal, but wasn't sure what to do next. I had another look at the EFI step-by-step, and I see that 1.bat should have worked in FreeDOS. In DOS I tried, megarec.exe -adpList, which returned saying that there was no SAS card. I also tried P7_sas2flash.efi -listall in EFI which also said that there was no card. I then tried everything again with the card in a different PCIe slot, but had the same results. Also tried the tape on those two pins, but that didn't seem to make any difference. I haven't got another mainboard to try it on. Is the card dead?
