Headless boot/operation


Recommended Posts

Hello...my server is currently on a Asrock Fatal1ty 970 Performance motherboard. I have 2 - Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 in slots PCIE4 and PCIE5. I wanted to expand the system with another Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 in slot PCIE2. When I installed the 3rd adapter, the system would not completely boot. Obviously, I couldn't see where it is hanging up at because it didn't have a video card on it (oddly enough, the motherboard does not have onboard video). Can someone advise?

 
PCI slot:
The PCI1 slot is used to install expansion cards that have 32-bit PCI interface.
PCIe slots:
PCIE1 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE2 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x16 lane width graphics cards (Currently video card....want to install Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8)
.
PCIE3 (PCIe 2.0 x1 slot) is used for PCI Express x1 lane width cards.
PCIE4 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slots) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width graphics cards (CurrentlySupermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8)
.
PCIE5 (PCIe 2.0 x16 slot) is used for PCI Express x4 lane width graphics cards. (CurrentlySupermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8)
