I have a MCX621202AC-ADAT secure boot enabled ConnectX-6 Dx card that I can’t get working in some machines. The user manual lists which models have secure boot and which don’t but it doesn’t seem to have any configuration or troubleshooting information. The card works just fine in a Asus Pro WS W790-ACE and in a Xavier Industrial. I can’t get it working with the Asus WS C422 SAGE/10G or SuperMicro X13SRA-TF. I’ve tried booting into Ubuntu 20.04, Windows 10 & Windows 11 and it seems like it’s not detected at all by the OS. I believe it’s properly installed because the fan spins up and the link light comes on when I connect it to a switch. I’m not completely sure the problem is with secure boot but it seems like a likely culprit because these same systems will work with a MCX623102AN-ADAT just fine. I’ve disabled CSM and enabled secure boot in the BIOS. Ubuntu reports that secure boot is enabled in dmesg and the Window System Information utility shows secure boot state is on.
Hello @constellation,
Thank you for posting your query on our community. You mentioned that the same OPN works on a different server model but fails to detect on specific server models.You also mentioned that a different OPN works on these server models without issues. We would advise you to reach out to the server vendors to check what OPNs have been tested/supported with each server model as this falls outside our scope.
Thanks,

It turns out the problem was with the firmware; I updated to 22.41.1000 and now it works in both the Asus WS C422 SAGE/10G and SuperMicro X13SRA-TF. As I said in the OP I’m not sure this problem actually had anything to do with secure boot.
