Fantastic, thanks. By drilling down through the device manager I found this though:

So that's not a removable device in any case, it's on the system board I would say. So if there's a fault with that it'll be either drivers, firmware or a board change?

Pity this was closed so quickly, was hoping someone would have ppsted the Linux method and also the generic Dell method of identifying the device. A lot of the time you can't even check via the OS as it won't boot with a PCIe error and all you get is POST error or the LCD display to go on.

Oops, can ask another question easily enough if you think it will be worth it.

Looks like PCI slot 4 is a USB3.0 controller we fitted recently in order to improve backup / restore speed. We'll investigate it further.

We've fitted many of these to different servers; this will be the first problem.

You can get the information out of the Registry, but it is troublesome and requires exact knowledge of what is installed and where ... in other words, you need to already know the information you're trying to find out.
Open the Registry Editor and drill down to HKLM/System/CurrentControl
Here's the nasty part. Nothing indicates whether that device is in the system. You have to know what is installed in that slot to know whether that device is installed in that slot. This could be workable on a system that has never changed since the original installation, but on most systems things have been swapped back and forth, devices have changed, and each slot might have ten potential candidates that have been in that location. So on most systems, this is not a workable way to find out what's in the system without seeing what's in that slot. And then of course you already know what's in the slot.
