EVGA SR2 doesn't boot - Bios post code 2A

[MAFRI]

Hi,

Just finished building together my new system:

2x Intel E5520
6x 4GB Kingston DDR3 1333 ECC reg

Addon carts

1x Adaptec 1405 ( in PCIe 1 )
1x Creative X-Fi (in PCIe 2 )
1x 8800GT 1GB ( in PCIe 3 )
1x 295GTX ( in PCIe 5 )
1x 8800GTS 320 (in PCIe 7 )

2x Intel 80 GB SSD
and 2x SAS and one S-ATA HDD at the Adaptec.

well I can't move the adaptec somewhere else because the cable is to short.


If I power the system up - all screen's stay dark :/
and the board show's me "2A"

What should I do?


Greetings

remove all addon cards and exta videocards and try the 295 in pci-e 1

hey in slot1 must be the adaptec because the cable is to short :/ so i can only put the card in slot 3
will try and post....

finally got it running...
with a gpu in the first slot - doesn't matter what comes after - but it only boots up here with a gpu in the first slot..
had to work a bit on my chassis so i can connect the SAS drives ^^

thx

i think get a longer cable is very easy way to fix this problem
