I left the card in IT mode and tried installing XCP-ng last night. When booting from the usb to install, it saw all the drives. But once installed and booting without the usb, it didn’t find the drives…thus no bootup.
From talking to Mr. Google, it looks like the card needs to be flashed both the hardware and the bios. The card came flashed with the R510, so i’m not sure what/how it was done. Is there a way to check?..and remember, this is my first foray into non-ms stuff.
