Setup:
ASRock AB350 Mini ITX
RYZEN 5
SATA Card
SATA Card 2
Note: There is no onboard graphic
***
I am running a headless unRAID server and I am trying add additional SATA ports via a SATA controller.
When I boot with the card inserted into the motherboard the server does not boot at all, it does not even show up in the router page. Unfortunately, since there is no onboard graphic and I cannot plug in a GPU since the only PIC-e slot is occupied by the SATA card, I am unable to tell what the issue is.
This is happening with just the card in the motherboard itself. No additional HDDs were added or hooked up the SATA card.
Note: I am assuming the motherboard is not POST'ing based off the fact that when I boot with SATA card in mobo, the lights(num lock) on my keyboard don't turn on and they do without the card.
Some quick facts:
Could really use some pointers on what the issue might be or how to diagnose it.

Some quick facts:
■Only one PCIe slot on mobo
■PCIe slot works because server boots with GPU plugged in
■I hear a boot beep when server boots normally
■No boot beep after inserting SATA card with no drives attached
■Keyboard lights don't come on when powering on server with SATA card
■Tried two different SATA cards, both result in no POST
■Boot order is set to only boot from USB BIOS-ScreenShot
■Legacy Boot is enabled BIOS-ScreenShot
