Just to make certain I'm not confused about any of this. The smarts for this shelf are in the controller. Buy two of these controllers and that shelf, 3D print some caddies, and you will have a 12GB SAS shelf? What is the cable type that is used to connect these to an LSI SAS2308? It is hard to tell from the picture.
I've been waiting to upgrade my SAS2 backplanes and this seems like a great price to make it happen. Thank you for sharing and for the discussion.

SFF-8644 on the controller, if you have an lsi 2308 w/external ports then in all likelihood its got SFF-8088. If your 2308 is internal then you'll have SFF-8087 and need to bring that out either via a long cable or a bullkhead with the appropriate connectors.
Thing is, your LSI 2308 will only do 6GB/s SAS 2. If your existing shelf or the shelf you're buying already has the sas2 controller then why upgrade to SAS 3?
Regarding two controllers. If you are using single port drives (SAS or SATA) and not using interposers then two controllers doesn't buy you very much except extra watts consumed by the shelf and connections going to nowhere.
Hey, so I bought a Flextronics 0989198-06 (E12EBD) for cheap but I'm not able to get it to work with my DS424(3). The first post here suggests that it should be compatible but I'm not able to find much info except this thread.
When comparing my working E6EBD Compellent module to the E12EBD Flextronics module with info from the GEM CLI, i see a few potential issues. First is that it's running in slave mode while no other module is inserted and secondly the Midplane CPLD is either not the correct version or recognized.
I'm wondering if there is a configuration or a firmware update that i need to apply to the E12EBD to get it working? I know there are undocumented commands but I don't know of a complete list anywhere. Seeing that it's booting from Image B, I want to try switching to see what's on image A.
I've already read through the "Xyratex SBB enclosures and compatible controllers" thread but it looks like that firmware is only for the E6EBD. The pdf linked there says E12EBD but is only for instruction reference
Here is some of the info I've collected from the GEM CLI. Let me know if you need see anything else from it, the dumps are quite lengthy.

I'm still trying to figure out how to switch the boot image but i did come across this in strings...
Code:
0 0 :
0 1 : soft reset (not implemented)
0 2 : hard reset
0 4 : NDSR reset (or RF trigger)
0 5 : show RF/NDSR state
1 0 0 : set image 0 active
1 0 1 : set image 1 active
1 0 t : toggle active images between 0 and 1
I just need to figure out what command takes it as input. "set_startup_flag" maybe?
you should have asked in that thread. Personally I did not have any issues with using E12EBD in any of my DS4243. Also you did not specify what exactly was not working for you so it is hard to suggest any troubleshooting steps.

Yeah, I didn't mean to post this in the deals thread.
So after applying power it boots like normal, but a few seconds after it's finished booting the fans go to 100%, the middle front panel led goes to a solid amber light, and the E12EBD has a solid red light (the one next to the red X by the console port).
I see "Fault", "Failure", "Not present", and "UNKNOWN" listed for multiple things in the ddump which do not have the same status when using my E6EBD so it's not clear to me what the actual root cause of it is. I don't know if it's an incompatible firmware version or if it's just a few settings that need reconfigured.
