Esata pci card not appearing in Mavericks

[composerguy78]

I have installed one of these cards in my machine:

http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/MXPCIE6G2S2/

I can see it in the BIOS but not within Mavericks.

Is there a BIOS setting I need to apply that I have missed? Or perhaps something to install?

I would greatly welcome any suggestions.

Thx
Felix

I don't think the card itself will show up anywhere unless there are devices connected to it; in that case, those devices should show up under SATA/SATA Express in System Information.
