    Hi Jack, I don't know what it is about the 9285-8e but it caused me all types of issues. I ended up getting a 9280-8e and its working flawlessly.

    HP P812 Array Setup Bios

    Thanks for responding. I had taken a look at that already. Unfortunately im not using an HP server its in a homebuild with a Supermicro Mobo. Odd thing is. It showed the F8 until i updated it. Oh well. Can still access it from Windows software. So not total disaster

    HP P812 Array Setup Bios

    Hi All. I picked up an HP P812 and it was working but i stupidly updated it to the latest version (6.64). Now it doesnt show the F8/F9 options on boot. I can access the card from the Config Utility in Windows but still want the boot F8 option available. Anyone have an idea on how to get it...

    LSI 9285-8e

    Hi All. Got my hands on the 9285-8e. The problem is that it does not show a bios on boot (my 9260-8i does) and in windows it is not detected properly (PCI Device and driver doesnt work). Tried flashing to latest firmware but the util doesnt see the card. Only thing that does is MegaRec. So...

    Dell H310 Flash to 9240-8i

    Thanks for the responses. This 9240 is only going to be controlling a few lower sized drives the rest of my drives have a 9260-8i running them. Just wanted to see if i could flash the H310 to a 9240-8i (both FW and SBR). Anyone willing to send me a 9240sbr.bin file? Thanks

    Dell H310 Flash to 9240-8i

    Hi Was wondering if this is possible/worthwhile. I can flash these cards (Dell H310) to a 9211-8i but im looking to do a RAID 10. Is the 9240-8i better for this? Is it even possible to flash the H310 to 9240-8i?? If so i have the 9240 firmware but i was looking for a 9240 SBR bin file. Can...

    Seagate Constellation ES.2 3TB Not Initializing

    Thanks. Tried most of this without luck. Think its just a bad drive. The drive is actually showing as 0TB to the controller (outside any OS) so im guessing bad :(
