X540-T1

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the best place to post this question but not sure where to turn to for help at this point. I recently bought (was recommended ) an Intel X540-T1 for my PC and installed with drivers but it still doesn’t seem to be working. The card is being powered cause the lights blink when I connect a cat6 cable but it’s not being recognized by the PC. I know it’s a server card but I was told it should work just fine. If anyone can help I’d greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

It Does not show up in device manager. Guessing the PC doesn’t see it. Currently running Windows 10. Don’t have screenshots at the moment because I’m at work but can def get you some tomorrow.

Where did you buy the card from, just like a previous post there are LOADS of x540 and x520 fakes on eBay.  I hope you didn't purchase directly from China.

You can use the following, if your card doesn't have a YottaMark sticker then its either fake or its may be from an OEM vendor like Dell/HP/SuperMicro
