I decided this past weekend to sell some of my less used items and in the end I had two Samsung 970 NVMe SSDs left over.
Since I had a spare port on the LSI 9400-16i, I got an U.2 shuttle by OWC (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TXTKFQK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and a connector by DiLinKer (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JH92TD9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details); which seemed like it should work based on the published compatibilities of each item.
However, when I plugged it in there was nothing. Not even the BIOS recognized a connected drive. I tried connecting it to all of the ports but still didn't get anything detected.
The 9400 is using the Mixed Profile and has the latest firmware and drivers (P24).
What else could I be missing or am I just not supposed to be able to connect all of these?
