Hi, I'm just setting up a simple home file server/nas and bought the supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F mb. This might be a stupid question but do I need to flash the SAS controller on it to IT mode? If so, is there a guide someone can point me to.

I won't be using hardware based raid as I plan to use snapraid for my mainly static content.

Thanks Antony

That board has no SAS adapter
The 2 x 4-port are SATA not SAS.

OK - that makes so much more sense - lol :)

til: SAS connector does not always means it has a SAS controller.
