Recognizing PCIe Oculink Adaptor Card

Hardware ZimaBoard
21

Thank you for your reply. I have an GTX 750 graphics card coming in the next couple of days.

If that works in the GPU Docking Station ten the RTX 5060 is either faulty or can not draw enough power.

I will let you know the results of the above.

Many Thanks.

Hi a short update.

So as per last email,I had the USB controller card in the GPU docking station.

The ZimaBoard2 loaded the Web UI and the lspci command showed the PCIe USB Controller card in the list.

So in goes the GTX 750 Graphics Card. So same thing as before the ZimaBoard2 will not even load up the Web UI.

  1. Did the PCI USB Controller card work because it use fewer PCI lanes?
  2. Is the GPU docking station faulty for full length cards, like Graphics card?
  3. So something else stop the ZimaBoard2 from loading the Web UI (unlikely)?

I am thinking of getting another docking station….

Many Thanks.
