I've been using the 9260-4i happily in a Windows 7 Dell Precision box for about a year. I just upgraded to Windows 10 on a nearly identical Dell Precision, moved the card and drives over, and everything appeared to work fine at first glance. However, when the machine goes to sleep, the card...

I am out of ideas with these C240M3S systems with the 9271CV-8i. I have two of them and both have issues where the 9271CV-8i will randomly disappear, and or the VD will disappear, and or it will detach a new hard drive like its failed. This happen on reboots or warm reboots but if the server is...
