Web UI available but unreachable with HBA plugged in

TrueNAS 25.10.7 - generic LSI SAS2008 HBA card

I thought that adding an HBA would be simple but it’s been anything but.

I’ve got it flashed to IT mode (I’m mostly sure), but when installed into the TrueNAS machine I’m getting some odd behavior:

The machine boots fine and launches the web UI, but when I try to go there I’m getting timed out. This only happens with the HBA installed. Heartbeat on the card appears fine.

I taped over pins B5 and B6 to see if that changes anything, but it doesn’t.

Any ideas where to start tracking this down?

Full hardware details may help. Have you tried pinging the ip address for the machines or any other diags for the network?

I figured it out. Adding the card reordered the network and broke my network bridge. Had to boot up with a display and check/reconfigure it there.

Appreciate the response!
