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. + 1. your hba card id and brand (eg, Fujitsu D2607), this will define what SBR to use, + 2. the LSISASXXXX chipset on your HBA card, this will define which firmware crossflash, eg, LSISAS2008. + 3. the LSI HBA controller with the same chipset, eg, LSI 9211 has the LSISAS2008 chipset, + 4. 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.
