Hi,
Currently, I have 3 of the 4 PCIe slots occupied, leaving only the second x16 slot free.
I want to install 1 more PCI card and an NVMe SSD, but with a single PCIe slot available it is not possible.
Looking in Google for a few hours, I found this SuperMicro PCIe card, which converts a single x16 slot into 2 x16 slots actively with a PLX chip (According to the Supermicro website)
https://www.amazon.com/Supermicro-RSC-R2UG-A2E16-A-Riser-Card/dp/B00D3O2ZE4
I know that the cMP does not support passive PCIe bifurcation, but I do not know if this active card would work in a cMP.
Any thoughts?
