@camping8929 Thanks for the clarification.@yoggi Don't worry about it, it was just a stupid remark that at the mobo, the power connector starts as yellow black red black (typical SATA order), then turns into yellow black black red (Molex), and when you connect your molex to sata adapter, you're turning the already one swapped yellow black black red back into yellow black red black. The fact that Molex is just funny looking SATA Power may be one of my brightest discoveries to this date.
The Molex connector on the factory power cable will behave just as you expect. The colors-to-voltages mappings are as per convention. The order of cables at the Molex connector of the factory power cable is typical as well. Since you asked you'll have this back in your head anyway, so when you plug in the Molex to sata adapter into the factory power cable, just make sure that red goes to red, black goes to black and yellow goes to yellow (it will)

So I replaced the mainboard, new one is fine.More expensive than my box was back in the day, but least original seller provided a refund so that offset the cost
Also just in case you didnt see, new Bios: V5.0.0.11 - R1.37.0 (16/11/2023)

Hello,
new TX1320 M3 owner here.
I added a second 8x2.5" backplane.
Disks are being detected in the correct slot but orange leds blink in reverse order when using 'locate' feature of the CP400i controller.
i.e. disk present in slot 7, led blinks in slot 4, disk in slot 6 led blinks in slot 5 etc
In the first backplane (slots 0-3) all is working correctly.
What am I doing wrong?

@camping8929 I looked at your table... Am I understanding correctly that you never tried the combination of two (2x) M.2 NVMe SSD to PCIe?

If you mean me - no I have not since I didnt have 2 free M2 adapters at that point.
Also I have issues with the 2E4T when used in combination with another card in the other x8 slot, so at this point I am not sure how accurate this table actually is.

update: if i reverse oob cable (BP1 and BP2) in the BP2 leds start blinking correctly and in BP1 in a reverse order.
With cable disconnected, in both backplanes leds blink in reverse order.
I replaced raid card, backplane and cables with no luck
Any help would be appreciated
I only wanted to share my experience with E3 v5 - indeed this works fine.
Updated BIOS to the latest (1.37 as of writing this). Swapped Pentium G4560 or whatever it was for E3-1260L. 4 or 5 restarts later bang - CPU has been changed, go into BIOS, all features enabled, proper CPU recognition, Save, Exit, Boot Proxmox.....
All singing and dancing.

I have 2 backplanes with 8 x2.5" but so far had the issue with not all drives blinking up on boot up. In my case pulling unlit / undetected drives out and putting back in resolved the issue but have not noticed the order in which the led identification goes. Funny enough - regardless of the drives not blinking on the boot up they are recognised in the OS just fine... Already replaced backplane and it changed nothing. I guess it may be the controller card. However changing its mode of operation between HBA and RAID also does nothing... For as long as it works, I'm not bothered.
Maybe some drives are set to not blink. Try sdparm --set=RLM /dev/sd[x-x]. All activity lights should be on. With ....--clear=RLM they are set to off. If you want to save the status add a --save after the --set/clear command. At least it's worth a try.
I flashed CP400i card to IT mode.
In the second backplane Amber leds continue to Blink in reverse order.
Tried with storcli and ledctl. With system powered down I see only the hdd 0-3 in sensors section of iRmc.
I throw in the towel... maybe there is another spare part or jumper settings.

I assume u checked in the UMM for correct cableing?

I have already shared that directly with ornello, but maybe this will help someone else, as the results of my short tests are in line with ornello's case and I say it then seems intentional.
My findings on Drive identification in BIOS via SAS Controller management section:
Drive 0:1:0 - blink 0:1:0
Drive 0:1:1 - blink 0:1:1
Drive 0:1:2 - blink 0:1:2
Drive 0:1:3 - blink 0:1:3
Drive 0:1:4 - blink 0:1:7
Drive 0:1:5 - blink 0:1:6
Drive 0:1:6 - blink 0:1:5
Drive 0:1:7 - blink 0:1:4
I find it odd though....
Problem was in the Chassis ID Eprom, a memory in the front panel where some data (like serial number, chassis type, backplane configuration) is stored.
I downloaded this tool and tried several configs - since TX1320 M3 was not yet supported. Maybe someone could find a newer version of that tool...
"TX1320 M2 4x2.5 + 2 x 2,5" was the config that did the trick for me.
Now I see 8 disks in iRMC and all the slots blink correctly.
@ArturLorek thank you for your helpful support!
