casperse Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Hi All PLEASE HELP!!! I now have the opportunity to borrow a LSI SAS9305-24i card (JUST FOR TESTING) and replace it with my LSI Logic SAS 9201-16i (I currently use this 16i + 8 x sata on the MB cabled to = 2 x Mini-SAS 36 Pin SFF-8087 on the back plane) So this should have native IT mode (As standard) and be able to replace the existing SATA ports currently used on my MB (8 x sata) But I had to see if the Firmware was updated and looks like it is... BUT I can not remember if I need to change anything else in the config tool? I was looking to remove any boot options to drives? - Unraid don't need this (Just a bunch of drives) - BIOS is just access to the Bios of the card right? Also there was some options to display during boot of the drives.... And do I have to set "Removeable Media Support" to get Hot Swap functionality of my drives like I have today? Sorry this is so long time I tinkered with a LSI card (They just work!) Edited October 26, 2020 by casperse Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Don't need to change anything in the BIOS, you don't even need a BIOS. Quote Link to comment

Wouldn't it just be the right thing to do? (Setting boot : Disabled skipping this every time I reboot the server) And is hoot-swap working if I don't set the "removable media support" to YES? And do I get all the drives listed during boot if I don't set any info Sorry I was just sure I did something on the old controller? Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I don't know what you changed, best to reset to default. Quote Link to comment
