About this deal

There are two ports on the card and each port creates 4 SATA ports, which means I can have eight additional dedicated SATA ports. I honestly have no idea what LSI card is equal to what, I am guessing that LSI 9211 = IBM 9200 = SAS2008 chip.

OP, just for the record, having a "4 drive stripe", on a scale of ZFS stupidity from 1 to 10, is a 9. CaseLabs TH10 Magnum Case in White with 120mm Extended/Ventilated Top, Full Magnum Pedestal, XXL MB + XL PSU Windows, 8x 3×3.It doesn't seem to fit the pattern of "new pull", which raises legitimacy questions, but it could be that they were sitting in a box as spares, or got racked but never turned up, or the seller is outright mistaken as to the "new pull.

Now that you saw that you PC/server is still able to boot even with the card inserted in its slot, prepare a medium to use to boot the PC/server and update the firmware.Take the time to do proper burn in testing of your machine, and "possibly put data at risk" becomes a low risk - even with a "fake" card. So this turbulent history with these HBA card designs manufactured by multiple companies explains why you might see the same card model produced by LSI, Avago, Fujitsu etc. I flash the firmware with the SAS HBA DELL controller firmware, which contains the IT firmware I needed. So far I'm very happy with the performance of the card but I haven't done any hard reliability tests yet (e.

From what I understand I can move the card to another PCIe slot, but the problem is that these internal H200 controllerns dont fit very well in regular slots since it does not have any brackets. Install your HBA card into a suitable PCI slot and enter its configuration page by pressing CTRL-C during boot. I went therefore ~65% over my original budget but at least this setup allowed me to connect up to 8 additional disks.It has also made its way into design wins from most top-tier server vendors so there is a large (and growing) installed base that will provide momentum for future support. But since all of these cards are using the same underlying design they are in fact identical cards regardless of the manufacturer. I finally got it to work by opening the Java remote KVM / IPMI client in a Ubuntu VM with the javaws command, which is installed by the icedtea-netx package. Secondly the passive cooled Atom boards overheat according to user experience and require active cooling as well. After finding some PDFs with various bit of info on LSI’s range of host bus adapters (HBAs) I thought I would bring them here to help anyone looking at using one.
