SergeantCC4 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I've recently purchased an IBM M1015 online to expand my system. I want to verify that the card is in iT mode before I attempt to do unnecessary flashing (as I am still new at these things and don't want to end up with a $100+ paper weight). Does anyone know a way that I can check the current mode of this card, and if it is not in iT mode a way to flash it so that I can use it as a JBOD HBA? I've tried looking through the forums for a solution to this but have been unable to find it. Thanks in advance for everyones' time. Link to comment
BobPhoenix Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I try to get a image for you to look at of the boot tonight when I get home. My M1015s are all flashed to P11 IT mode so you can see what they SHOULD look like ignoring the really OLD date it will display. I need to get around to updating to the current version but it is low on my to do list. Also if it aint broke don't fix it. Link to comment

SergeantCC4 Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 The forum I was directed to on a separate forum topic was to this article: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.msg121128#msg121128 I think Reply 3 talked about the M1015. Are you guys also trying to flash it because I figured out that too and just flashed it to P18 (November 2013 release if I recall). This site I got the firmware off If you want to save time is: http://www.lsi.com/products/host-bus-adapters/pages/lsi-sas-9211-8i.aspx#tab/tab4 Edit: Like the form says you want to disable "Boot Support" so that the system will boot properly. If you need help flashing it you can look at my last post here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=31574.0 Link to comment

And also the Installer_P18_for_MSDOS_and_Windows.. right? Thanks. Link to comment
