[H270M-ITX/ac] Cannot POST with PCIE NIC card

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

I'm not able to POST when PCI Express NIC card (1 ethernet port Startech card based on Intel 210 chipset) is plugged: no fan, no video, nothing.

What I already did to understand the root cause :

- I already cleared CMOS several times, but still having the problem
- I tried to umount/mount again my motherboard and CPU, but still having the problem
- I tested the PCI Express NIC card on another PC, and it works well
- I tested a PCI Express video card in the PCIE slot, and it works well
- I don't think it is coming from ATX alimentation as I measure 35W of consumption whereas the alimentation can provide 360W and the card is announced to consume less than 1W

I start to ask myself if the motherboard can support PCIE cards that are not graphic cards. Any thoughts on this ?

Also, I saw this : [URL]http://yannickdekoeijer.blogspot.com/2012/04/modding-dell-perc-6-sas-raidcontroller.html[/URL]
But I don't think this is the problem as people don't report impossibility to POST in such a case (but more incorrect memory reported for example)

Any help from you guys strongly appreciated !

Thanks
