I have a Dell PERC H200 9211-8I 6Gb SAS SATA dross flashed to lsi it mode and it is working fine on an old dell vostro 470 mobo, intel i5-3450 cpu, have 7 hard drives connected and all is good.  I wanted to re-use my old pc.. intel i5-660k on a msi z170a gaming m5 motherboard, but as soon as i put the sas adpter i, it wont boot. not even to the bios. wont turn display on  just hangs, i've set the boot mode to be legacy + uefi but made no difference,   I never installed the boot bios onto the card when i cross flashed because I was never planning on booting to it,  should i try reflashing the card with a boot bios, or anyone have any ideas how i can get a uefi motherboard to boot with this card in it?

 

thanks

 

Unlikely the BIOS would help, it should boot fine without it in legacy or UEFI mode, most likely this, or a compatibility issue with that board.

 

 

ya i just read about the tape fix,  I will give it a shot, it is suspect because currently it is working on an old dell pc motherbord.
