Hi,
I just got a Supermicro X9SRH-7F with an E5-1650 (as a replacement for an X8DTL-3 with 2x L5518). The LSI2308 has the IR firmware 'installed'. The old board had a little jumper to put the LSI 1068E into IT mode (for ZFS/all-in-one use), but there is basically no information about the LSI2308 chip and how to deal with it in the X9SRH-7F manual. Supermicro currently does not list any SAS updates on their website.
I assume I have to cross-flash the firmware to get to IT mode?
Can I just cross-flash any LSI2308 IT firmware (e.g. 9205-8e or 9207-8i)? Is there anything special to watch out for (I have cross-flashed the IBM ServeRAID M1015 to an 9211-8i in the past)?
Thanks,
