And I would need a mini sas to mini sas cable. And it does not have to be forward cable?

Yes, miniSAS to miniSAS, for those there's no forward or reverse, they are all the same.

Flashed and all went smoothly. Many Thanks to all those that replied and helped !! 👍👍

Just to add. I did have to tape the 2 pins.

My system would not post without doing it.

I had the card in a spare full size PCI-e slot and it was not the graphics card one.

So I think it is purely down to the main board if a system is going to post without the pins been taped or not.

Tell more? On what the card? Why? Guess I haven’t seen anything about this? Which exact card did you get? Do tell more?

It's discussed on the first page of this thread with a link to a thread dedicated to this topic.  PCIe pins B5 and B6 on the H310 often need to be covered with some Kapton/electrical tape or the card will not boot  I had to do the same with my Dell H310.
