Make sure you read and understand the __READMEFIRST.txt before starting!

If you experience troubles or something is not clear, don't hesitate to ask for help.

You can help improving the howto by doing so.

Chances are small but you can brick the controller!

 

Hi,

 

I finally managed to get an h310 for a decent price and tried the above (needed to tap the 2 pins to boot), however i've run in to a slight problem at step 3. While it was doing the first part of this step I noticed it flashed up with an error code 8192 and then did the 2nd part of step 3. I now can't continue any further with the flashing. The card is still detectable using "sas2flash -listall" but says there is no image and exits.

 

Log bits;

Any ideas how to get it flashed correctly please?

 

Thanks

 

:: EDIT::

 

Flashing the Dell IT works ok, but not LSI P7 or P16.
