Hi all,

I have an Adaptec ASR5805 RAID card. It has an 8x PCIe interface. I plugged it into my 16x PCIe slot on my motherboard and it won't post. Motherboard posts once I remove the card. (Intel DX38BT motherboard)

My question is: Can't I use a 16x slot with my 8x card, or do I have to find a mobo with a 8x slot?

I cannot find a HCL for this RAID card on the Adaptec site.

Thanks

Do you have a vid card in a 16x slot?

Some boards drop the 16x slots down to 8x when two cards are detected.

Could try the black 16x slot if using the blue as it is 1.0 spec.
 
Yes I do need a vid card on primary 16x slot. No onboard vid card on the mobo.

What should I do then? Move the vid card down?

Try the black 16x slot as it is 1.0 and the blue are 2.0 spec.

Maybe raid card don't like new spec.
 
Okay,

will try the black slot.

Thanks, AZ

Will report back tomorrow.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
