August 3, 20232 yr I bought a second hand LSI card and installed it into the PCI slot. At first run, the LSI BIOS runs and UNRAID boots with no problem. I can see the card on listed PCIE devices. I then flashed the LSI card to IT mode successfully and rebooted to confirm that the card had indeed been flashed with no problems. Turned off the system so I could connect the backplane cables to the LSI card. Upon connecting back the LSI card to the pcie slot, it's not detected anymore. LSI boot menu does not show, neither does lspci -tv show the LSI card. Tried the LSI card into a Asus Hero X motherboard but also does not show, maybe cause the motherboard UEFI does not help?

Not sure how do, literally 5 minutes between it working and not anymore. Possible to have fried it by connecting it to backplane? I connected two Mini SAS HD to SFF-8087 cables between the HBA and Backplane, just read online that for the Supermicro Backplane BPN-SAS3-826EL1, you only need to connect one cable to access all drives. Could this have fried the HBA? Edited August 3, 20232 yr by donbish
