I've got an old Dell R710 with a Perc 6/i storage controller card plugged into the internal storage controller slot. I've tried to replace it with a Perc 6/iR (which according to my information can do JBOD which the Perc 6/i cannot) but I get the following error message when I turn on the machine:
Invalid PCI card found in the Internal Storage slot! System halted!!
That seems very odd to me given the fact, that the Perc 6/iR controller works in every other slot except the internal storage controller slot an also in different machines (tried it in a regular PCIe slot in a workstation). According to my knowledge the R710 could be equipped with a Perc 6/i, 6/iR or H200 controller on purchase, so does anyone have an idea what's wrong here?
PS: I've also tried and LSI firmware on the Perc 6/iR. Same result :(
