5820 BIOS only see 2 NVME SSD cards on a Dell 4 card PCI
I have a 5820 with up to date BIOS and it came with a 2 card NVME SS PCI adaptor that works well.
And now have a 4 card Dell PCIe adaptor but as far as I can tell the BIOS can only see two of them.Can't see any obvious way of getting round this or am I missing something?
TIA
Tony

Did you install the card in the 2nd pci-e 16x slot ?
Because if you just put it in place of the other card, and that one was in one of the 8x slots, it's more than reasonable that you have issues.
Each nvme requires 4 lanes.

Thanks and quite correct - it was in the original x8 slot. I'll change it later when I work out what to swap round as all slots are occupied...
