July 15, 20205 yr Hello, the last hours im trying to get my DELL PRO/1000 ET Quad Port NIC working, its PCI-E but no matter which of my three PCI-E slots or Uefi/Legacy boot im not able to get it working... When i plug it inso slot one my secong 10g nic isnt recognized anymore. I bought the NIC used but pretestet from a used server company so i didnt know if its working but when i have to guess i think so. I attached my diagnostics. I hope someone can help me winserver-diagnostics-20200715-1955.zip
July 16, 20205 yr Community Expert There's a known issue with those NICs, it's not detected on most PCIe 2.0 or newer slots, e.g.: https://www.dell.com/community/PowerEdge-Hardware-General/Intel-PRO-1000-PT-PCI-E-Quad-EXPI9404PTBLK-T110/td-p/3881138
July 16, 20205 yr Author Strange, the documentation says its PCI-E 2.0 x4 so how could it be it wont work on 2.0 or higher... So could it be a souloution to change the PCI-E version to 1.0 ? As far as I know it should be possible to adjust it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
July 16, 20205 yr Community Expert Specs say: Bus type PCI Express 2.0 (2.5 GT/s) Which is strange since 2.5GT/s is PCIe 1.0, in any case and IIRC it's a known issue those NICs.
July 16, 20205 yr Author Okay, so i can troubleshoot this, i have an old system with a intel core quad qx9650 in theory u say it should work on this because it has 1.0 and 2.0 slots ?
July 16, 20205 yr Author okay, on PCI-E 2.0 and 1.0 it doesnt even light the leds so its even more worse.. I will get a new one
August 11, 20205 yr Have just built my first NAS. I have a Gigabyte H470M DS3H which has the intel i219-v NIC. I have booted from the bootable unraid USB and got to the login but cannot access the GUI to complete registration. The onboard GUI doesn't load either using HDMI, the screen just goes black. All help and suggestions greatly appreciated.

August 11, 20205 yr Community Expert Have you tried with 6.9 beta release? It has drivers for some of the more recent NIC chipsets that are not present in the 6.8.3 release..
August 11, 20205 yr Thank you for the help and advice! The new version along with a previous post covering BIOS settings got me to the GUI.
