August 26, 201312 yr hello, i'm having this card (sas2lp-mv8) and using it on motherboard M5A99FX PRO R2.0 from asus. both with the latest firmware/bios when i do a parity-check i get errors. but when i connect al my drives to the mainboard everything is working correctly. so what can be the problem? i'm doing a parity check at the moment, i will post the system-log later on...
August 27, 201312 yr Author is it possible that my problem is the motherboard? that it is not fully supported or something like that?
August 27, 201312 yr Check your cables [you may have a faulty breakout cable] and your power connections [are you using the same power feeds when you connect the drives to the motherboard ports?]. Also, did you disable Int-13 in the card's BIOS? It's not clear that it's always required (may depend on the specific version), but it's a common modification for use with UnRAID.
August 27, 201312 yr Author - i did disable int13 - i use the same powerconnectors - i have 2 8087-data cables and both give me the same problems
August 27, 201312 yr Try a different PCIe slot. Are you using an x16 or an x4 slot? [Your board has 4 physical x16 slots; but two are x16 electrically and two are x4]
August 27, 201312 yr Author i am using 4x slot now i changed again a few hard drives and doing a check now. i will change the pci slot next time (this evening)
