Hello!
I bought a fairly cheap, but new and sealed in the box, LSI branded 9207-8i. The motherboard I'm using does not detect the card at all. At first, I thought it wasn't seated correctly in the slot as the PCI backplate it came with was slightly bent in all directions, but I've tried it without that and it still does not detect the card. The card feels quite warm to the touch and I have occasionally heard the connected drives spin up. It's the first time I've used a HBA, so I'm not sure if I've missed something fundamental in the BIOS. Also, when I get to OMV, there are no drives detected, which seems to be expected if it's not seen in the BIOS. Has anyone heard of this kind of thing before? DOA HBA card or motherboard incompatibility? Any workarounds?
I am using these bits of hardware:
Asus Rog Strix B360-I Motherboard, latest 2418 BIOS
8400T
16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Value Select
3x 4TB IronWolf
1x Samsung Evo 970 NVMe
Things I've tried:
CMOS Clear
Reseating the card
Removing PCIe backplate from card
Any help, much appreciated, thanks
