Hi,
we replaced all our old PCs with new ones with DZ77-SL50K mainboards. One of them is for adminstrative tasks and so I equipped it with a sata hot swap cage (Icy Dock MB974SP-B). But sadly most of the time the hdds in it aren't detected by the mainboard for booting. Once they are detected the PC runs for hours without any troubles. So I ran some tests:
- updated the bios to 0096
- took one of the other boards
- 2 different hdds: WD & Hitachi
- increasing the "Hard Disk Pre-Delay" in the BIOS to 20 seconds
The only things that helped:
- pcie sata controller (adaptec 1430sa)
- connecting the hdds directly
So I would be thankful for any hints what might help.
