You probably need to adjust the bios, possibly starting with the fail safe or optimized defaults and then changing what you need to after everything is basically working. May 20, 2024, 14:26 by : > For card specs I always do a web search with the model number, though you may > have to put it

Re: [gentoo-user] PCIe version 2, 3 etc and how to know which a card is.

For card specs I always do a web search with the model number, though you may have to put it in a slot to read that info.  Most of the cards I buy come from ebay, used, so I'm always looking up the specs.  If it's from a server looking up the part number from one of the labels should work.

Howdy, I bought a extra PCIe SATA expansion card.  I mostly wanted a extra.  I have a 10 port in my main rig and thought I was buying one like that one, in case it breaks.  When I put it in the old NAS box rig to test, my ethernet wouldn't work.  I tried a different slot but same thing.  I found
