n40l usb3 pci-e card not functioning in DSM 6.2

Hi,

 

I have recently updated DSM on my HP N36/40L microserver. Prior to the upgrade to DSM 6.2 I had a working 2 port USB3 PCI-E card. However I have just gone to plug my external HDD into the card and it spins up but does not register in DSM. The disk is fine, I have checked on my Windows PC and also it is visible (and usable) when plugged into one of the USB2 ports built into the server.

Not sure where to go with this but would be good to get USB3 working to speed up backups. The card is a TS-PDC3.

 

Thanks in advance

As an update because I had inadvertantly upgraded to 6.2 and didnt feel like trying to downgrade to get my card to work, I purchased a Dell U3N2-D pci-e USB3 card which seems to work ok. There was another thread on here discussing compatible cards. Just need to sort out the not fully powering off issue now!

Hi.

I managed to get my uPD720202 work again. I flashed newest firmware (2.0.2.6) for this card and everything works. Firmware downloaded from Station Drivers

Flasher is for windows only, so I must boot microserver from USB with Windows PE

Hi sszpila, i would like to thank you for the tip!!!

it worked perfectly for my Startech PEXUSB3S25 Renesas/NEC uPD720202 that is just arrived today.

p.s. I have an HP N40L with 1.0.3b loader with latest DSM 6.2.1 U6 update

Hello sszpila, 

Thank you for the hint, I bought this USB 3 PCIe card https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B0094H9NK8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I made the firmware update like you wrote and now all is good with my HP N54L 1.03b loader DSM 6.2.2-24922 Update 4

Regards,

TomX
