autumnwalker Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I have a couple of H220 HBAs that I want to put into my Unraid box. As far as I know from HP these are SAS2308's in IT mode. Is there any reason to flash / update these cards? Is there a way to validate which mode the cards are currently in? Quote Link to comment

autumnwalker Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks! I took a look at those links, but I still don't understand the need to flash. If the H220's are already in IT mode from HP, is there any reason to flash or update them from the way they are now? Is there any reason that I shouldn't use the HP IT mode / firmware in a generic Unraid box? Quote Link to comment

(But my recall is not as good as it once was...) So I am going to ping @JorgeB But a lot of H200's H220's have been flashed to IT mode over the years...

JorgeB Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Sorry, not familiar with that model, but it should come up if you search the forum. Quote Link to comment
