I don't think it's that unless it somehow reverted the firmware to the 'Adapter' version... I can go back and try again, but I had specifically downloaded the 'SAS-RAID_Firmware_9FVJ2_WN64_12.10.7-0001_A13' firmware and extracted the FW4651I.rom file, which I placed on the FreeDOS boot media...

That's a neat little board... too bad they don't seem to have one with three or more outputs... Not sure how it would work driving three fans off of the one output. I'd be somewhat surprised if it worked right. I wonder if someone else makes one with more outputs. I'll have to look around...
I wouldn't think so. There's an i2c port on it that I believe is intended to connect it to the backplane, but there's pretty much no intelligence to it. The CSE-PTJBOD-CB3 might be my only possible option here.
I've read a bunch of posts about making supermicro enclosures quieter, and rather than necroposting, figured I'd start a new thread.
I have several CSE-826 enclosures that are all set up as JBODs with JBPWR2 control boards and BPN-SAS2-826EL2 backplanes, with the fans connected to the...
