NASLite Network Attached Storage

at one time some slots were not master - whatever that means - certainly they would only work if there was something in the other slot - have you tried the other slot - if that does not cure the problem put something in the other slot - guess anything will do - it will take an irq but that should not matter

also have you access to another desktop - try your card in that you may be able to set it up with the drives - move them to Naslite and it work?

Hi Tony,

Tried card in another machine today again the same ? but it was also a foxcon motherboard but a different model. Might have access to a msi machine tomorrow .

Also tried moving into different slots .

Well you could try and flash the BIOS with the latest for the board. I had an issue with my MB and the 8800 Video cards in SLI that the flash fixed. I might be inclined to give that a go.

From what I can read the ICH7 south bridge should work just fine for you so I am at a loss at this point. Other than what I have suggested above and in previous posts I can't think of anything else to try other than to flash the MB and card to the latest and that failing to fix the issue trying it in another machine using other than an MSI board. I really like the Intel boards myself. Had good luck with ASUS and Supermicro too.

Hi Mike,

Cheers for that will have a go, can i ask why you said not to try the msi machine ?
I think i can get access to an old asus machine.

Well considering that the issue seems to be with the MSI motherboard/BIOS I think it prudent to try and eliminate that from the list of possibles. Nothing more or less to it than that.

One other thing to consider. IF the card is seen by NASLite but fails to show up in the BIOS boot there is the possibility that the card is bad. I had a NIC that failed like this so it does happen.

cheers mike , sent the card back today seller on ebay agreed card suspect

Thanks for your help

Those cards are a dime a dozen and so shouldn't be to hard to find. I even have one in a bag sitting for a simple RAID array if need be.
