I have build a new machine (specs below) and have tried to add a HP P212 SAS card and a Quantum LTO3 Tape drive however if the card is plugged into the machine it wont get to bios and/or the tape drive isn't seen by the machine os (Server 2008 R2) at all.
If i try this in a desktop machine (Dell Optiplex 3010) then the card is recognized but the tape drive isn't. I'm struggling to find any solution and I can't think of what to try or what to do next.
Any help would be really appreciated.
