M1015 + X9SCM-IIF Issues

(1/4) > >>

DeepSpace:
Slowing putting the pieces of my server together as they show up and I've run into an issue. I have 3x M1015s, all flashed to P14. That process went smoothly without error.

When I threw them into the server and tried to boot, I was met with this error:



As far as I can tell, with testing a few different scenarios. I don't think it is the individual cards.

This board has two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, and two PCIe 2.0 x4 (in x8) slots.

I can run 2 M1015s in the x8 slots, or 1 M1015 in a x4 slot. When I try to run 3 total (2 in x8, and 1 in x4), or even just 2 total (2 in x4).. I get that message. It seems like it doesn't matter the card, or which x4 slot it is.

Is there some BIOS setting I'm overlooking? Or was flashing to P14 incorrect? I have a feeling I'm missing something small.

DeepSpace:
Okay, tried something new.. if I put 1 in x8, and 2 in x4, I get two of the BIOS Faults, and only one card shows up in the configuration panel.

Beyond confused.

DeepSpace:
I realized I had P14 firmware and I didn't update the card's BIOS to the most recent version.. did that, still fails.

The only change is the 3 lights blink at the same time on the top of the cards where as before it was random. I know, I'm stretching here.. I can't find any information about this error anywhere. I'm at a loss.

hdkhang:
I'm still putting together my server, but using the same board and have 2 of the m1015 installed (going to hold onto the third card for another server since a simple 2 port card combined with the 6 onboard will cover my needs).

For me, I don't have this problem, but I am also not sure what version my cards are flashed to as it was pre-flashed by an ebay seller to IT mode. I'm not at home so can't check either. My cards are in the two x8 slots. In any case, I don't think the problem is with the motherboard, could just be the firmware version of the m1015 cards themselves.

BetaQuasi:
I don't know if the IIF is the same, but on the original board, I had to use the 2 x8 slots (which you'll want to use anyways, they are x8 cards) and the bottom x4 slot (skipping the x4 slot in between if that makes sense.)

Give that a shot maybe?  Also, ensure the m/b is on latest f/w
