Does the DC P3700 work in a PCI-e 2.0 slot?

Hello,

We are looking at getting some of the DC P3700 PCI-e 3.0 add in cards for some servers at work. Do you know if they work on PCI-e 2.0 slots? I thought it would be backwards compatible, but I read a review that it wasn't. Is there any official word?

Thank you.

I can only tell you what I have seen.

Intel DX58SO board latest available bios = 3 beeps (memory missing) but works fine when I remove the card

DQ57TM = same

DQ67EP (PCIe 2.0) = works with latest available bios and 64bit Windows plus PCIe NMVe driver

DH77MK? = works

I haven't tried Linux but I expect your difficulty is bios and hardware not the OS.

Hello Joe,

Just installed the DC P3700 PCI-e in a HP DL360 G6, which only has a PCI-e 2.0 slot. I have RHEL 6.5 installed on the box (with RH's latest RHEL6.5 kernel).

We are not seeing the device.

"isdct show -intelssd" returns "No results".

I'll keep playing around with it, but it doesn't appear that the SSDPEDMD400G401 is backwards compatible with PCI-e 2.0.

Any other things I can try?

Thanks,

Rob
