### Preparing the crossflashing tools
1. Before starting, you need to know:
a. your hba card id and brand (eg, Fujitsu D2607), this will define what SBR to use,
b. the LSISASXXXX chipset on your HBA card, this will define which firmware crossflash, eg, LSISAS2008.
c. the LSI HBA controller with the same chipset, eg, LSI 9211 has the LSISAS2008 chipset,
d. how many ports your HBA controller has: if 4 ports, you need a 4i firmware, otherwise if 8 ports (more common case), you need a 8i firmware. Only 8i firmwares are included in this repository, you need to download other firmwares from Broadcom (ex-LSI and ex-Avago Technologies), Dell, or Supermicro.

2. Use [Rufus](https://github.com/pbatard/rufus/releases) to format and make a usb flash drive bootable with **FreeDOS**.
