First of all, thank you to the OP and other posters for the hard work on this thread.
I need to setup a Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 for unRAID. It has a Raid 500 card which is a rebranded LSI 9240-8i using the LSI SAS2008 chipset. I need to flash it to IT mode. A few questions:
1. Is the zip file for SAS2008 on the first page still current?
2. Do I use the P7 version of the firmware from the zip file (because the card is re-branded) or the latest 9211 firmware from LSI? P19 seems to be the latest.
3. I am concerned about getting the PAL error because I don't think the TS440 has a boot to EFI shell option. What is the easiest solution? Put the card into another motherboard to do the flash?
Any other advice would be appreciated. It is my first time doing this.
I have a Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 that I tried to do this with, and ended up with the "Error: failed to initialize PAL". I ended up putting the card in a Dell Optiplex 9010 where I was able to finish flashing it.
