November 8, 20169 yr Hi guys on my current board I cross flashed the LSI IT firmware which saved me buying another controller card - awesomeness! I am in the process of buying an additional server and the latest Supermicros boards eg the https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C236_C232/X11SSH-LN4F.cfm look like they use Intel C236 chips. Does anyone know if they can be cross flashed to IT mode to work with UNRAID? Thanks! Stuart

This board uses the data from the Intel chipset, so should work with unraid without doing anything.
November 8, 20169 yr Author Assuming you connect the 8 ports on the motherboard via a reverse breakout cable to the backplane of the server which has 24 drives is that still the case? Or do you need some IT firmware? Thanks Stuart
