Listed for sale is LSI 9200-8E 8-lane external SAS host bus adapter card that I flashed to IT mode firmware for use with ZFS. It has been flashed to Avago / LSI 9200-8e IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00). This card has NO BIOS ROM, and NO UEFI to speed up boot time during POST. However, this also means you CANNOT BOOT from this card and you will not see any initialization during POST. The card will only be visible after the OS driver has loaded and initialized the card.
- LSI Avago IT mode firmware version P20 (20.00.07.00)
- No BIOS ROM and No UEFI ROM
- Original SAS address preserved
- Full profile PCI bracket only
These are based on the LSI SAS2008 SAS controller chipset and supports PCI-E 2.0 specifications with x8 lanes and 6Gbps SAS/SATA technology. The controller has 2x SFF-8088 external connectors, each carrying 4 SAS lanes. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your JBOD chassis.
