Motherboard is a X11SSM-F-O, E3-1240 v5, 32Gb of samsung DDR4 from the supermicro recommended hardware list.
Picked the card up from ebay for $100, planned on flashing it with efi shell, no luck, "NO LSI Devices found", created a DOS boot disk, ran "megarec -adplist" nothing found. Plugged it into an old windows box, same results.
Any advice? Aside from the arcane science of flashing these cards, it should just work when plugged into a PCI slot? Im not missing anything simple?
Im really half tempted to just get an LSI 9211-8i, partially because I have so much money into this build already that an extra $100 at this point is just "meh", and partially because the upwards pointing connectors on the M1015 kind of suck in a 2u chassis.
Edit: For anyone that stumbles here from Google:
After testing the card in a Supermicro X11 mobo, as well as an Asrock Mobo running Win 7, still no activity lights and the card is not seen. I decided to pull out my multimeter and check the fuse labelled "f1", right above PCI pin 4-5 on the connector side of the card. Sure enough it was an open circuit, so at some point in this cards life it was exposed to overvoltage, overcurrent, or some pretty bad ESD.
