The 9702-8e I had went belly up on me. I had what I THOUGHT was a spare, the listing said "LSI MegaRAID HBA Host Adapter...." so stupid me though it was ACTUALLY a HBA! No, it is the 9286CV NOT in IT Mode, so my Dell R740 is freaking out about it and won't let me boot with it installed.

Anything from Amazon or Newgg is going to take nearly 2 weeks to get here, I think they are all shipping from China. I am REALLY Hoping that this can be flashed so I can take care of this ASAP because my wife and daughter are going to lose their crap if they have to wait 2 weeks to watch stuff.

So, can I flash this thing to an IT mode so I can get it back up and running with TrueNAS?

I picked up a Zotac 4060 last week to use for transcoding. It was a good price, compact, and 115w Max. I thought the R740 could handle up to 200w for a GPU. I know the Quadro P4000 is 105w and it works in the R740.

I installed the card in Riser 1 Slot 1, and moved my HBA to Riser 2, Slot 1. Booted it up and I couldn't see the card. Played around with a few things and then realized it needs additional power. I hopped online and found a power cable I need to connect it to the motherboard. It came today. After seeing where the plug is on the 4060 I had to move it. The ONLY option was Riser 2. I managed to get it in there and connected it to the RSCC 225W plug for Riser 2 PCIe Power. When I booted it up I got a message that the system is trying to draw too much power and I needed to check or replace the PSUs.

The system still booted, but the card never worked. I thought I had plenty of overhead for a GPU, but clearly I do not. I have 2x Xeon Gold 6150 CPUs, so does that make a difference? Am I SOL? I don't wan to spend $250-300 on a 10yr old card that has 5x less processing power.

Help/suggestions??

LOOOOONG story short, I killed my HBA. I have a spare so I popped it in, and now I'm getting

Not sure why, but that's why I am getting. I hit a key and go into the config, then click on the LSI Driver listed and then I get

I can't do anything with the keyboard here. The only thing I CAN do is to hit Default, so I do, then save changes and it tells me it's ok now.

I exit out and it takes me back to this screen

I can't get past it. If I turn it off and back on, it goes to the first screen. I'm stuck in a loop and have no idea what to do!
