I recently got a couple HUSMR7638BHP3Y1´s ( 3.84Tb ) from ebay.. Things went fine during transport but when I got the drives, I had the displeasure to notice that:
1) they had a Cisco UCS firmware (I had previously obtain HGST firmwares).
2) the v111 firmware was too old and did not work in my Dell PowerEdge T640 causing a PCIe error. I knew exactly what the error was and how to solve it: Update to the latest firmware (v122).
Here's how it looked (on the T630, which -did- boot without issues):
Simple, I thought.. to fix it I just needed to obtain firmware from Cisco and flash my drives.
It turned out to be not so simple (including a few hackish move) but it worked. I am posting here in case it helps someone..
