XtyX Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I purchased an LSI 9201-8i from Ebay (Seller has pre-flashed to IT Mode) https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Genuine-LSI-6Gbps-SAS-HBA-LSI-9201-8i-9211-8i-P20-IT-Mode-ZFS-FreeNAS-unRAID/162958581156?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 The card is not recognized when inserted. I do not see the cards Bios screen on boot. The cards heartbeat light does not flash nor the activity lights. However there is a single small green LED that does light up when the card is inserted. Which I believe is the one circled in the pic below. Troubleshooting I have tried: Tested all PCIE slots with GPU (All work) Tried in all 3 PCIE slots Updated to the latest version of the MB Bios (4.10) - http://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370 Extreme4/index.asp#BIOS BIOS -> Boot -> CSM (Compatibility Support Module) -> Launch Storage OpROM Policy - I have tried changing this from "Legacy" to "UEFI only" BIOS -> Chipset Configuration -> PCIE Link Speed - Options "Auto", Gen 1, Gen 2 & Gen 3. - Have tried Auto & Gen 2 I have not tested this in another PC yet as I don;t have a spare, however I could probably find someone to test it for me if needed. Is this card not compatible with the Asrock Z370 Extreme4 MB or perhaps the card is dead? Any help/suggestions appreciated?

coolasice1999 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Probably a junk card. Seems common for those from eBay. Could it be a clone? Quote Link to comment
ijuarez Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 If you bought it from the art of the server person he does not sell fakes or junk.If you have another system try it and see if it pops up. If not contact the seller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

It wouldn't work on my Asrock x370 board. Just bought a Asus Rog Strix x470 board and it still won't work with the latest bios updates. Green light in the rear is on, but I think the card is garbage. I bought it off Ebay, never been a big fan of. LOL Edited August 14, 2020 by Badboy Quote Link to comment
