Exilepc Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 3 Days ago I decided to build an unraid server using a Dell Optiplex 990 (i5-2400, 16 gb DDR3 1600, 750 Watt PSU) Drives are: 2x 2tb WD Green 1x 5tb Toshiba 7200 RPM 1x 2tb Toshiba 7200 RPM 1x 120 GB SSD Config: Pulled Dell MB, and put it in a Antec Three Hundred Two. The unraid server was working fine, I installed the Supermirco AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 and booted the server. The card boots up and sees the drives but when it goes to boot off the pen drive I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I rebooted the server and reset the BOIS options to default and only changed the ones that I would be needing. I am still getting the black screen with the black cursor. I would love to fix this so I can get my server running again Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 If your BIOS looking for a boot disk attached to the SAS2LP, perhaps? Quote Link to comment
scottc Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Double check your BIOS, sounds like it is not booting from your pen drive. I had this happen before when i was messing around in my server Quote Link to comment
Exilepc Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have booted into the boot menu and selected boot from USB with the same results Quote Link to comment

scottc Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 first thing i see in your system bios is you should set sata to AHCI. then you have to go into the card bios and make sure int13 is disabled Quote Link to comment
Exilepc Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 int13 was the issue, it was a hard setting to find, Thank you! Quote Link to comment
