Hello,
I'm putting together a new server for Scale with an LSI 9300-16i and LSI 9200-8e for the spinning disks. I just have a few questions that I haven't found solid answers for with Scale:
LSI 9300-16i

- What is the recommended firmware version? Most recent forum messages I could find seem to point toward 16.00.12.00 (available in these forums), and sas3flash on Scale seemed to be for 16.x.
- What boot rom is recommended?
- The card has a 6 pin aux power port, but LSI docs just say to hook it up "if auxiliary power is required with your system design" -- funny. It's going in a Supermicro X12SPL-LN4F w/ 875W redundant power. I assume that connection is only needed if max slot power is below xx watts? Not sure what to confirm.
- - What is the recommended firmware version? The latest I could find at LSI is 20.00.07.00 and sas2flash in Scale does seems to be for 20.x.
