S5520UR do not not recognized PCI-E 1x controller based on sil3132

[MR15]

Hello friends!

I have several platforms SR2600URBPR with S5520UR motherboard, with latest BIOS, BMC, etc.

I tried to install to five slot PCI-Express active riser ASR26XXFHLPR two PCIe 1x SiI3132 based controllers with two e-SATA connectors, with firmvare 7.7.0.3-7.7.0.6.

When server starts the BIOS is not seen sil3132 cards, respectively, the OS does not see it too.

In this case, the server mb INTEL S3200SH with the same controllers work Ok, and are detected without any problems.

Any ideas?

S3200SH w/o riser, it's have some pci-e slots.

Check something simpler with riser, Gigabit NIC for example.

Yes, i'm already checked two intel gigabit and 10ge NICs in this riser, it's recognized and work ok.

The same situations with the passive riser..

Sil3132 is not EFI-compatible, (U)EFI is disabled in BIOS?

It is possible to disable (U)EFI in S5520UR BIOS??

Hi,

We recommend testing a different card on the slot for testing purposes. If the card is detected, you are dealing with a compatibility issue with the SiI3132 and there is no much troubleshooting we can offer in that case.

I bought 5 x Marvel 9230 based controllers ST-LAB A-520 and receive 0x51code on diag leds - Allocating resources to PCI buses..

Server not boot with 5 cards, but boot ok with 3 of these cards..
