7010 pcie
Hello
I have a 7010 MT. And I can't get anything to work in the second or black pcie x 16 slot. At all. The bios has been updated. I've tried a I7 3770 and a Xeon E3 1275. Both no no avail. I am trying to use both fir sas x8 cards for 16 total data drives fir a home lab. I can have one in the top or blue one. But anything at all in the black one and I loose all sata drives in the board. I'm at a loss and need help.
Thanks

Not sure what fifircation has to do with 2 different pcie slot, but, if its engineered that way. Then I guess that was smart....
PCIe bifurcation refers to splitting PCIe Bus into 2 or more with smaller lane width as in X16 into
2X X8 smaller lane width.
Some Precision Workstation models have that.

@Patrick Prafke
cant use slots that way your chipset does not have pci-e bifrucation and the blue slot is VIDEO only.
What you are trying will NEVER work.
