PowerEdge C6105 doesn't boot after LSI Controller added
We have several C6105 servers and all of our Nodes are running the same LSI 9260-8i add-in RAID controller. We recently purchased another C6105 and removed the In Mezzanine slot: LSI® 2008 6Gb SAS mezzanine and replaced with the In PCIe slot: LSI 9260-8i add-in RAID controller. After making this hardware change the Node simply flashes the Hard Drives but won't power on. I have been able to duplicate this issue on a second node using and a second PCIe LSI card. Also this may be nothing, but the fans seem to be running a lot faster now as well.
Prior to the hardware swap the Nodes were configured and running ESXi 5.0 without issue.

Dutchers4,
I wanted to clarify a couple things with you. First off would you verify how you are installing the 9260-8I in the server, and is it the only thing you are adding or removing from the C6105 (other than the LSI2008).
Also would you verify what the jumper positions are showing on the backplane?
Lastly, with the reference to the fans, I would suggest updating the C6105 to current on BIOS, as well as the BMC (which controls the fans).
Let me know how it goes and what you see.
