But that shouldn't have anything to do with the Drives appearing in the BIOS but (I suppose) might in TNC.so its not in IT (but in IR) mode...

FWIW, @rskoss it would be worth it to hit enter (from the screenshot) on the controller, going to the next screen and then selecting SAS Toplogy and hitting enter there - which if the 4 bay is powered would list the drives the SAS controller sees. Again not expecting to see 4 but we should not assume anything going forward - though it is possible the controller grabbed one of the drives and therfore is not being presented to TNC - possible but unlikely.
After this the next step is to check the SM site for that motherboard and see if they have released IT mode firmware for it... otherwise a simple cross flash to LSI firmware may be required.
yep. so that 4 bay has a bad slot. bummer. at least we caught the IT mode vs. IR mode now rather than later during more troubleshooting.SAS Topology shows 3 SATA drives.
No Hdds or SDDs. 2 NVMe drives. One is directly on the server motherboard, the other is on an asus hyper card in a PCIe slot. The slot has bifurcation enabled so as to split the x16 into 4 x4 channels (if my understanding of it is correct) for each of 4 slots on the pci express. I only have one slot populated at the moment. My original intention when assembling this server was to raid several nvme in that hyper card so I was trying enable the Intel ROC feature so I have raid enabled every which way in the bios settings that I could find but found that i was going to need to get a hardware key. Any of that make a difference? What exactly is a name space?nsID sounds like namespace ID. What drive are you running?
