Hello.
After reading this excellent thread I now have a bit more understanding on what's going on in the LSI world but I also have more questions.
I am trying to get some answers regarding my original post. I will try to be specific to the HBA side (and ask the chassis questions in the proper forum)
If I understand correctly, AOC-S2308L-L8E comes in IT mode and since I do not wish to use any raid feature on the HBA can I just use it as-is? (without re-flashing or cross-flashing, etc...).
My board's compatibility list lists AOC-S2308L-L8I specifically (and not "E") which according to this page is in IR mode.
Is the only difference between the E and I version the firmware? can I flash AOC-S2308L-L8I to put it in IT mode or should I just grab the E version and ignore the omission from the compatibility list?
BTW - I thought that "I" = internal and "E"=external. This is a bit confusing...
Should I stop being a nudge and just get a standard non-supermicro officially compatible HBA and get it over with?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
