I initially had a lot of problems trying to work out why this did not work. Windows x64 Server 2012 R2 on Dual XEON Workstation Platform
I kept getting the error
However after trying the solution here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/646418E97E7AE91D86257C52006276F7
The problem was resolved and it worked fine.
My Problem:
When I look in the Windows Device Manager, the StarTech adapter shows up as a "PCI standard to PCI-to-PCI bridge" with a yellow exclamation mark next to it.
When I click on the yellow exclamation point, I get the error Code 10: Device cannot start.
Solution:
You are getting this error because your BIOS is likely in native PCIe mode. The way that you can tell that your computer is in native PCIe mode is that one of your ports will be listed as a "PCI standard PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridge" in the Windows Device Manager. Because the chassis is a PXI chassis rather than a PXIe chassis, the BIOS is having trouble enumerating the chassis while your PC is in native PCIe mode.
In order to disable PCIe native mode, try the following steps:
Open the start menu and type cmd in the search box
Right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as administrator
In the command window, type bcdedit /set pciexpress forcedisable
Reboot your computer
If you decide that you want to enable native PCIe mode again, you can reverse this using the command: bcdedit /set pciexpress default
