My as yet unresolved question is what address should I use when prompted to "Enter the remaining 9 digits for the SAS address:"
I entered 9 zeros, as I've read some others have done:
The problem with blindly following the heard though is that I have no idea whether their files lived happily ever after or instead later became unrecoverable because of it.
I wanted to enter the same address as was used when I first got the board:
but when I counted the digits (11E30800), there were only 8 of them, not 9.
Here's the screen taken after I entered the 9 zeros and rebooted:
The first part of the address (50030480) is the same in both cases. However, the 9 zeros (of which only 8 are showing) are definitely not a match for the SAS Address when I was running the board as it came straight from SuperMicro. Does it matter? Should I be concerned?
What have others here done?
