Hi sdccyberb

PCIe Training Error Slot 1, slot 1 is refering to the expansion card located in slot 1 on the motherboard.

Most likely it is referring to the RAID controller card in your server. But just to make sure, please check what expansion card is currently on slot 1.

PE 840 manual, please refer to page 22 for more details on the error message and page 72, figure 3-18 on how to locate slot 1 on the motherboard:-
