Abnorm Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 (edited) Hey all, I'm in the process of moving my server to a new rack chassis and needed some sff-8643 compatible controllers for the backplane.

wow001 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The https://jc-lan.org/2020/01/09/crossflash-dell-0wfn6r-9341-8i-to-9300-8i-it-mode/ is now password protected so use this link below instead. This method worked for me but needed the jumper on TP12 as the LSI card came from a Dell T7910 so running the command " sas3flash.efi -list " got the message "No Adaptor found" , so after restating the computer with the jumper on the HBA I was able to replace the firmware with the SAS9300_8i_IT.bin As I could not run the -list command I photographed the serial number and SAS Address for later when need later in the method. https://www.servethehome.com/flash-lsi-sas-3008-hba-e-g-ibm-m1215-mode/ Also the link for the installer_P16_for_UEFI.zip - uefi boot and flashing tool 9300_8i_Package_P16_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows.zip - firmware etc. https://www.broadcom.com/site-search?q=installer_P16_for_UEFI https://www.broadcom.com/site-search?q=9300_8i_Package_P16_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows 1 Quote Link to comment
