SAS expander card not working (Intel RES2SV240)


Recommended Posts

My Intel RES2SV240 came in the mail today from a second hand online seller. These things are supposed to just work as soon as plugged in, correct?

 

I tried it with both an LSI 9211 and 9271; also tried it off the motherboard powered via a molex connector. I tried many combinations of port sockets. My test hard drive is not detected.

 

The drive is detected when plugged into my raid controller cards directly, so I know the rest of my system is fine. Can I assume the expander is broken, or is there something I'm not doing right?

Most likely.

 

Does it show up in the devices? You can post your diags with the expander connected to check.
