I put it in my 2u in an 8x pci-e slot (fit perfectly). Fire up the machine and I don't get the 3ware setup menu, no lights on the card, nothing.

anyone seen this before? Before I assume it's a dead card are there any gotchas on these cards I should be aware of?

The motherboard is a PDSME+ and shows as compatible with the card.
 
Go into bios and turn on option rom support for the slot that the card is in?

Most of the supermicro boards I've played with let you configure option rom support on a slot by slot basis.

If it already enabled, then you may be hitting the option rom limit... Start disabling option rom support for everything else your not booting off of.

If that still doesn't make it work, look for an smbus jumper to enable smbus on that PCIe slot.... if none of that helps, its likely you may have a dead card.

I would also check to see if the card shows up on the PCIe bus anywhere, (ioreg in OSX, lspci in linux, device manager, and start looking at the ? marks or unknown hardware and their device ID's in devices in windows)
