Key points to note on these 065F44 Dell IT Mode HBA Cards:-

These are Dell H200 RAID SAS controller cards that have been  modified for use with ZFS. They have been cross-flashed to Avago / LSI 9210-8i (functionally the same as 9211-8i) IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00).

We have also flashed the LSI/Avago MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM version 07.39.02.00 and UEFI 07.27.01.01 so that it is easier to access the controller's ROM without booting an OS.

These cards also have the PCI ID modified to make each an "Integrated" card so that it will work in the Dell PowerEdge 11th Gen server's internal storage PCI-E slot.

No PCI bracket is included since you will not need it for the integrated slot. If you want to add a PCI bracket to this card, please request one and we will gladly include it in the package.

They will be compatible with the integrated slots of the following servers: R510, R610, R710. T610

This card has no PCI bracket (left out deliberately) and is meant for use in Dell PowerEdge 11th gen server integrated slot.

• ::  LSI Avago IT mode firmware version P20 (20.00.07.00)
• ::  MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM flashed version 07.39.02.00
• ::  MPTSAS2 UEFI ROM flashed version 07.27.01.01
• ::  Original SAS address preserved
• ::  No PCI bracket, ready for installation into integrated slot
• ::  Verified to work in the Dell R510, R610, and R710 internal storage PCI-E slot.

These are based on the LSI SAS2008 SAS controller chipset and support PCI-E 2.0 specifications with x8 lanes.

The controller has 2 SFF-8087 connectors, each carrying 4 SAS lanes. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your SATA hard drives. For backplane connection, you will need a compatible cable like this -(M251M-backplane to controller Cable)- to connect these to your, say, R710 backplane.

These cards are fully tested in our test lab on servers running ZFS on Linux (ZoL), but this setup is also ideal for other ZFS setups, FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox VE, etc.We have fully tested them using all 8 SAS lanes.
