I'm trying to make this P410 work, but it behaves strangely. I must say I'm not using HP hardware to test it, but rather a Dell motherboard. When I use the card with the cache module and battery attached, it gives me a failure message and doesn't go any further. The boot does not complete...

I recently built an AMD desktop (Ryzen 5, X570 chipset) and wanted to add a little bit of local bulk storage (aiming for a RAID5 or 6 hardware setup).
