Hello everyone, I am having an issue trying to get my new box built. I'm using an older X8DT6-F-ISO18 motherboard with a pair of L5640 cpu's (bundle was free). The motherboard boots up fine with the first 8 drives attached (to the onboard LSI 2008). And I can attach up to 6 more drives on the SATA ports. My problem starts when I add my Intel RS2WC080 card (also LSI 2008 based I believe), that's when I don't see the setup screen for either card and anything attached to the Intel is not detected anywhere. I've tried each of the 5 PCI-e slots and I get the same. I tried the card on a different motherboard (that has no built in SAS) and the Intel card worked fine (with the drives). All my typical troubleshooting has failed (all the components work fine outside of this build). At this point i'm glad I only got one of the Intel cards instead of two!
If anyone has any ideas it will be greatly appreciated! I would really love to get over this hump and get all 24 drives up and running.
Thank you!
