Hi,
The other day I got a Dell H310 from ebay. I downloaded the latest toolkit from here, and booted into FreeDOS. 1.bat failed saying that megacli didn't work, and sas2flash.exe had the PAL error. So I booted into the EFI terminal, but wasn't sure what to do next. I had another look at the EFI step-by-step, and I see that 1.bat should have worked in FreeDOS.
In DOS I tried, megarec.exe -adpList, which returned saying that there was no SAS card. I also tried P7_sas2flash.efi -listall in EFI which also said that there was no card.
I then tried everything again with the card in a different PCIe slot, but had the same results. Also tried the tape on those two pins, but that didn't seem to make any difference.
I haven't got another mainboard to try it on.
Is the card dead?
