Hi
I have the follloging hardware setup:
* Case: Lian Li PC-Q26b
* Backplanes: 5 x Lian Li BP2Sata (One is preinstalled in the case)
* PSU: Seasonic G-550w (PCHG Edition: Redesigned and more silence)
* Board: E3C224D4I-14S
* CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3
* Cooler: EKL Alpenföhn Brocken Eco (bxhxt: 126x150x88)
* RAM: Crucial 32GB DDR3 (4x8GB) 1600 ECC UDIMM 240 pin
* HDD: 10 x 6 TB WD Red WD60EFRX
* Drive for OS: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 8GB (WIth latest Freenas, 9.10.2)
* Connectors: (2 x sata directly attached to the sata ports on board, 2 x mini sas2sata delock for the other 8 drives 4 on each port)
The problem is that all the drives which are connected via the mini-sas to sata cables are not shown in the bios and also
freenas cannot see them.
I was doing some search on the internet. First I updated the motherboard firmware to the latest version I found on the asrock download page (bios: 3.20, and bmc: 00.16.00). That did not help. I also checked if I plugged the cables into right ports on the motherboard. I am using port #15 (sas_4_7) and #21 (sas_0_3) with my delock cables which seems to be correct according to the mother board manual.
Finally I flashed the controller to IT mode (latest version PH20.00.07.00-IT from here: ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/Driver/SAS/LSI/2308/Firmware/IT/) following the the instructions here: (https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...g-asrock-e3c224d4i-14s-to-p16-lsi-2308.36890/). The update worked but it still does not detect the harddrives.
Nothing did help so far. Any help solving this is highly appreciated.
