So I got my 15 Dell H310's to replace my AOC-SASLP-MV8 HBA's today. Old Thread. Do I really need to flash these cards? It seems like such a hassle and quite frankly, I am too lazy to flash 15 cards.
Is there some way to tell if it has already been flashed to IT mode? I put one of these in my server and started up FreeNAS and sure enough, 8 of my drives are showing in FreeNAS where none did on the Marvell AOC-SASLP-MV8 HBA's. I also now see this when I boot up the system. It seems to indicate these cards are not running in RAID mode. It also says to press Ctrl+R to run the configuration utility. Would it be possible to turn enable IT more from there if I need to?
