Hi guys,
I have a Gigabyte EP45 DS3 Rev 1.0 board with five PCIe slots, three x1s, one x8 (orange) and one x16 (light blue). I am trying to use a PCIe x1 lane RAID card in the x8 slot however when I do this, the motherboard takes roughly 2 minutes to POST. It also fails to detect or initialise the RAID card.
When I go to the M.I.T. section in the BIOS (rev F9 updated last night), it tells me the system hung due to incorrect settings despite me running at stock speeds. The card works fine when used in the PCIe x1 slots (ie the overclock settings work fine, and the card is initialised/seen correctly).
Is there a hardware problem or issue using non-graphics cards in the x8 PCIe slot? I was under the impression that an x8 PCIe slot can accept any PCIe card with 8 lanes or below.
Any help is appreciated.
