Hi posted that here but Patrick asked me to put it here.

Hi,

I just got an Intel SASUC8I. For funny reasons on the Controller it says LSI. No Intel logo. LSI however confirmed by the serial number it is an OEM for Intel…

Ok, the problem: I want to flash to IT to use it for the napp-it all in one. As I am not a nerd (but Political Scientist) I am puzzled how to do it. On the LSI website
http://www.lsi.de.com/channel/products/hba/sas_sata_hbas/internal/lsisas3081er/index.html
there is a Windows Installer version 1.28.00. As I understood from above there are problems using 64 bit Windows.

Then there are three files SAS3081ER_P20_Supports_SAS_1-5G_3G_6G_and_SATA_1-5G_3G_HDD FW:1.32.00.00, BIOS 6.34.00.00
So Firmeware PLUS BIOS.

So what to choose?

For hardware I have an old Win XP 32 bit machine I could use. Or put it in the server (Supermicro Board) if flash could be done via floppy disk or external CD_ROM.

Some comments would be highly appreciated!

Cheers,
Otto
