@Kaj your guide worked. Thanks a bunch!

Hey all, I just tried flashing my IBM ServeRAID M1015 card, using the tools kindly provided by @Fireball3, but I get the "No LSI SAS adapters found!" error on FreeDOS (during the 1st step). I am attaching a pic from the card's initialization phase during boot, which shows its current status. Any workarounds/ideas?

Do we know if any of the unRAID-compatible HBA cards are shorter than 6'', so that they can fit into the DS380 without sacrificing one drive slot? Most LSI cards and clones I've looked up are 6.6'', so probably too long to fit.

Thank you, guys. I'll get him the 54W one.

Dear all, I've been asked to build a new DS380 setup for a (jealous!) friend and have a couple of questions, in case you can help out. Considering the Asus P10S-i as a mobo, 16GB DDR4, 300W Silverstone SFX PSU, along with a Pentium G4560 Kaby Lake CPU. Do you happen to know if the stock CPU cooler that comes in the box will fit in the DS380? Moreover, does it make any sense to pay some more for the G4560T (35W version) of the CPU, to sacrifice some performance for lower consumption (and perhaps lower noise)? Not exactly sure how we'll setup unRAID at this point, but considering he's not very tech-savvy I don't believe he'll need any heavy work (e.g. transcoding) on it.
