I got a couple of M1215 from eBay recently, and decided to flash them to 9300-8i IT. Before the flashing I encountered some weird problems.
These two cards cannot detect any of my hard drives including new SSDs (samsung ans Micron) and one used spin disk (WD). I did successfully flashed one of the card into 9300-8i, and still they cannot detect any drives. These drives are consumer not enterprise ones. Any ideas what happened?
Before putting the card into the PCI slot, the mobo BIOS shows 96G memory installed as expected (16Gx6). However, the BIOS shows 64G memory once I put the card into the PCI slot. Where has my 32G memory gone? (I have found the solution on this: it is SMBus problem. It is fixed by removing the jumper on mobo to disconnect SMBus from PCI slots)
My mobo is x8DTH-6F, and onboard SAS is disabled with the jumper.
Only CPU1 installed.
Thanks.
