Hi Just bought one of these "manufacturer refurbished & retested" on eBay and cant seem to get it to work. I've put it in a PCIe x 1 slot (is this OK??) but it is not recognised at all by the PC (HP Workstation XW4600) and does not show up in device manager.
I'm wondering:
a) Does the card work in PCIe x 1 slot
b) Does it need seperate power feed? The card has a 2 pin connector that nothing fits from the ATX power supply and there is no adapter in the box. I cant find any reference at all to this in the manuals so no idea which pin is which and what voltage required otherwise I would fabricate a connection to test.
If anybody shed any light on this, it would be appreciated otherwise I assume I'll just return the card
Thanks
