So, I'm trying to put 10GB ethernet into my old but still amazingly capable desktop so I can put all my files on an UnRaid server. Problem is that when I plug in the 10GB Ethernet card (Intel X540-T2) and re-boot, my nvme M.2 drive (Sabrent 1TB) disappears from the BIOS (and therefore from the boot order) completely. I have tried everything I know of to get the motherboard to see both the M.2 and the 10G card at the same time, but nothing seems to work.
Here are my full system specs:
- I have unplugged all other hard drives. I have plugged the 10GB card into every single PCI slot. I have disabled PXE. I've done even more than that, and I can't remember it all. But I'm hoping that someone might have tried this similar issue and has knowledge of that one little thing that I didn't do, whether it's hardware or BIOS related. (Oh, and the BIOS is updated to the latest version.)
Thank you!!!
