What am I seeing?
There's an unidentified device in the Device Manager - Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) storage controller.
Why am I seeing this?
The unidentified device is related to the 4-Port PCIe Gen3 x8 Switch AIC AXXP3SWX08040 or 8-Port PCIe Gen3 x8 Switch AIC AXXP3SWX08080 installed on the server system.
This behavior is expected. No functional issue exists as the Windows* OS has no problem working with the switch card.
However, the Windows OS detects the switch card as an unidentified device; therefore, it's a cosmetic issue.
