   Here are the BIOS setting we set for those system prior to shipping;

     Start by entering the BIOS and taking the "Optimized Defaults" (F3)

      Then going down through the menus on the "Advanced" tab in the
BIOS...

      Boot Feature;
          Quiet Boot = disabled
          Wait for "F1" if Error = disabled

      CPU Configuration:
          Extended APIC = enabled
             "Advanced Power Management Configuration"
                 Power technology = Custom
                 Power Performance Tuning= BIOS controls EPB
                 ENERGY_PERF_BIAS_CFG Mode = Max Performance

      PCIe/PCI/Pnp Configuration
          Above 4Gb Decoding = enabled

      Then arrow right over to the "Boot" tab at the top

      Boot Mode Select = UEFI

      Then you set the "Fixed Boot Order Priorities"
      Typically we set them like this but the choices may vary depending
on boot mode and what you have installed for components.

      USB Floppy
      USB CD/DVD
      USB Hard Disk
      USB LAN
      USB Key
      UEFI CD/DVD
      UEFI Hard Disk
      UEFI Network

     Some of the boot order options that I have above like "UEFI
Network" might have a slightly different name but it's the idea of
external devices like USB, then local like a CD/DVD drive, then a hard
drive to boot off of and then the network last.

     Once you have the changes made...hit "F4" to save the changes and
the system will reboot.

     Check to make sure your IB card is showing then.

I think the "Extended APIC" option being enabled allows your IB card to show.
    
    
The CPUs control the PCIe lanes so that options allows more "space" for the PCI lanes.
