FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Slot division, adapters and the South Africa lane.

Five to eight days, door to door. South Africa appears on our published Southern Africa card at that figure, and clearance is quoted apart from the transit band.
Check how that slot is divided in firmware. A physical slot can be presented as one wide connection or split into narrower independent ones, and an adapter carrying two devices needs the split to match. In a slot presented as a single wide link, only the first device is enumerated. The card is supported, seated and working, and half of it is not visible.
Because the platform cannot always tell what is fitted before it has to decide how to present the slot, and the wrong guess is worse than a setting. So it is configured, with a default that suits the common case of one device per slot. An adapter carrying two is the uncommon case, and it inherits a default chosen for something else.
Then that server is configured differently, which is the strongest evidence you can have that this is a setting rather than a fault. Slot division is per slot and per platform, so an identical card in an identical model can behave differently depending on how each machine was set up.
The chassis, the slot and the adapter, so we can tell you what the slot has to be set to rather than leaving it to be discovered. We supply adapters and risers against how a slot is divided, because a card that fits is not the same as a card that is fully presented.

Lenovo Support in South Africa After End of Life

An adapter carrying two devices that presents only one is not usually a faulty adapter. It is a slot that has been asked to behave as a single wide connection when the card needs it divided. Everything is seated correctly, the card is supported, and half of what was purchased is invisible to the system.

A Physical Slot and Its Logical Division Are Set Separately

A slot provides a number of lanes, and those lanes can be presented either as one wide link or split into narrower independent ones. An adapter carrying two devices relies on that split, because each device needs its own link. Where the slot is presented undivided, the platform enumerates the first device and has no route to the second.

The default is chosen for the common case

Platforms cannot reliably determine what is fitted before deciding how to present a slot, so the division is a configured setting with a default. That default suits one device per slot, which is what most cards are. A card carrying two arrives into a machine configured for something else, and the mismatch is silent because an undivided slot is a perfectly valid configuration.

Identical machines behaving differently is the clue

The same card working in one server and not another is the most useful evidence available, and it is often read as proof that the card is marginal. It is the opposite: it demonstrates that the difference is in the machines. Slot division is per slot and per platform, so two servers of the same model commissioned by different people can differ in exactly this way.
