Lenovo 430-16i HBA IT Mode card doesn’t get recognized

[Phoenix85]

StorCLI shows via EFI Shell Number of Controllers = 0

Heartbeat LED of the Lenovo 430-16i is blinking green.

The vendor who has sold me the card says he can’t really help from remote ( not really happy about that )

He basically says if the LED is blinking green the Controller should be there.

I already tested the card in all three PCI E Slots I have in my Supermicro X10DRU-i+ Board.

Server is Supermicro CSE-829U.

I checked BIOS Option many many times … still I can‘t get it to work.

Quiet Boot in BIOS is disabled.

CSM is disabled.

Above 4G Decoding is disabled.

The Riser Cards I have changed from Legacy to EFI.

Boot I have changed from Dual to UEFI.

Latest BIOS is installed on the Motherboard.

I don’t even see the Card as an Entry in the BIOS menu.

So in Summary it seems it doesn’t get recognized and neither does it work yet.

A 9300-16i HBA card works without problems. But it draws too much power and gets to warm and than start to show I/O Errors. Hence why I bought the Lenovo card.

I have a MacBook M4 Pro and a Mac Mini M4 machine.
Via one of my brothers I would have access to a Windows machine.

Anyone has an idea?

So we tried it in brothers Win11 Machine with a MSI x570 Gaming Plus motherboard.

Heartbeat LED is blinking constantly green.

EFi Shell Shows Number of Controllers 0

CSM activated and disabled we tried = 0

Secure Boot disabled

Windows Device Manager doesn’t show any unrecognized devices.

We also plugged the card into an other PCI Express Slot ( where typically the Graphics card is installed )

Result Number of Controllers in EFI Shell = 0

No device for it in Windows Device Managee

Any idea?

The only one I have left is try in an other windows machine if it’s the same HBA card defect?

So with a Broadcom 9305-16i it seems to work directly.

Did you figure this out? My 9400-16i started doing this today.
