<p><br/></p><p>Q: Why does the system get stuck at the detection screen and fail to boot after inserting the card?</p><p>A:</p><p>1. Enable CRM in the BIOS settings.</p><p>2. Change the slot and use an eraser to clean the card's gold fingers.</p><p>Q: Does this expansion card support pass-through in unRAID?**</p><p>A: It supports pass-through to Synology virtual machines in unRAID, with normal driver-free recognition.</p><p>Q: Does this expansion card support Black Synology (Black群晖)?**</p><p>A:Yes, it supports Black Synology with driver-free operation.</p><p>Q: My host is running ESXi 6.7. Is it compatible? How many SATA ports are supported?**</p><p>A: Yes, ESXi 6.7 recognizes it normally and supports pass-through without needing drivers. It supports 5 SATA ports.</p><p>Q: Is it compatible for building a NAS + Soft Router on the ESXi platform?**</p><p>A: It is fully compatible. It is driver-free and easy to use. The BIOS can directly recognize the connected hard drives. For NAS, it can expand up to 5 SATA ports at once.</p><p>Q: Hi, after inserting the card, ESXi fails to enter the backend. Removing the card allows it to boot normally. Why is that? Do I need to install additional drivers in Linux?**</p><p>A: Linux supports driver-free operation. </p><p>Check if the system has enabled the setting to skip ACS (Access Control Services) checks for all PCI devices and set it to true. </p><p>Change the slot. </p><p>Check if the PCIe address of the network card is occupied.</p><p>Q: Why can't the hard drive be detected, and why does it show a yellow exclamation mark after installing the driver?</p><p>A:</p><p>1. Uninstall the existing device and driver, then re-download and install the driver, followed by a reboot.</p><p>2. Change the slot and use an eraser to clean the card's gold fingers.</p><p><br/></p>
