LSI 9201-8i not recognized on Asrock Z370 Extreme4


Recommended Posts

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?

Hi,

Did you ever get this card to work?  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
