Hi, im a bit new to homelabbing, and recently bought a server - on a second hand market. The computer came with the following component, but im a bit unsure what it does exactly. It was sitting in one of the GPU slots on the Motherboard. I feel like it has something to do with adding HDDs. Could somebody please clarify this one for me? Much appreciated!
Others have done a good job at explaining what this is. Though, a quick tip.
If you’re ever unsure about what a component is, do a quick search for what those chips are. In this case, I see several Asmedia asm1061. In 5 minutes you should know more about that component.
