SFF HDD not seen on UCSC-C220-M5SX

Hi there,

I want to use a 1.2TB SFF front-facing disk on a Cisco UCSC-C220-M5SX without RAID. The server has a UCSC-SATAIN-220M5 interposer card connecting A1 and A2 to the front plane. The disk is inserted in slot 1, and its LED lights up green. However, it does not appear in the BIOS, regardless of whether I set pSATA to Disabled, AHCI, or LSI SW RAID. Additionally, the interposer card is neither listed under LOM cards nor visible in the CIMC inventory. Is this expected behavior? How can I use the disk as a standalone drive for ESXi?

Don't think any of the 220 M5s in my lab have UCSC-SATAIN-220M5 to confirm anything.

Are all of the requirements met?
UEFI boot or Legacy boot?
SATA cabling? (which should be there, but good to double-check.)
BIOS options?
