https://docs.broadcom.com/docs/12350476 That is the link I used on my HP HBA card, it's the file called 9207_4i4e_Package_P20_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows.zip

I tried pulling a previous docker image down, but can't get that working. How can we pull the previous image? I thought I could change the repository setting like we did recently for influx (influxdb:1.8.4).

Highly recommend retrofitting a 40mm cooling fan on this card. After just a few minutes the heatsink was at 75C. Quickly got a fan on it. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdqC8PWJxg8 for a guide. The heatsink's holes line up perfectly with a 40mm fan. I used M3 x 30 screws with nylon m3 bolts to secure it.

I have the OEM version too. Tried flashing the card today using the method outlined here - https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-updating-your-lsi-sas-controller-with-a-uefi-motherboard/131 The FW file includes HBA_9207_4i4e_IT and HBA_9217_4i4e_IR, FW v 20. Simple and straight forward. Used a PC I know worked flashing before. Switched over to IT mode with little effort. Tested it - works (well, I can see drives in the SAS config). I need to test the external port next, then finally in Unraid (will get a trial USB setup).

I too am interested in this purely because now I think I want the external port, rather than spend £25 on a PCI adapter to add a port. There must've been a reason I discounted this model when making my original purchase. I found this OEM board on eBay. Original board is the LSI 9207-4i4e (non-OEM) version I believe. Update: Bought one, found firmware on the Broadcom website, once it arrives I'll let you know if it's successful
