Genuine LSI 9212-4i4e 6Gbps SAS HBA P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID

Genuine LSI 9212-4i4e 6Gbps SAS HBA P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID Listed for sale are Genuine LSI 9212-4i4e SAS HBA controller cards that I flashed for use with ZFS. They have been flashed to Avago / LSI 9212-4i4e IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00). I 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. This 9212-4i4e board is based on the LSI SAS2008 chipset, and is essentially the same design with 4x internal SATA ports (SAS capable) and 4x external SAS lanes in a single SFF-8088 port. This is a full profile PCIe bracket with ventilation holes to improve airflow over the heatsink. 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 Ventilated standard / full profile PCI bracket 4x internal SATA ports + 1x external SFF-8088 port. These are based on the LSI SAS2008 SAS controller chipset and support PCI-E 2.0 specifications with x8 lanes. The controller has 4x SATA and 1x SFF-8088 connectors, for total of 8 SAS lanes. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your hard drives or a backplane/enclosure. These cards are fully tested in my Supermicro server running ZFS on Linux (ZoL), but this setup is also ideal for other ZFS setups, FreeNAS, unRAID, Proxmox VE, etc. I have fully tested them using all 8 SAS lanes. Not exactly the HBA / IT mode adapter you were looking for? Check out the HBA section at my ebay store here. Feel free to ask any questions. Why buy from the Art of Server? I can provide technical support if you have problems I’m aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit. I ship fast, usually same or next business day! I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for “Art of Server” on YouTube. (sorry, I can’t link per eBay policy) I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube. I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc. I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed. I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! 🙂 I’ve used ZFS for many years. I’m familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts. I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm? Who is the Art of Server? I’m a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I’ve operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I’ve helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on eBay to help others with their server build? Since then, I’ve also added other “interesting” items to my eBay store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. 🙂

Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment. Remove the HBA from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice any damage, contact LSI or your reseller support representative.ATTENTION: To avoid the risk of data loss, make a backup of your data before changing your system configuration.2. Prepare the computer. Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord from the rear of the power supply.CAUTION: Disconnect the computer from the power supply and from any networks to which you will install the HBA, or you risk damaging the system or experiencing electrical shock.3. Remove the cover from the chassis.4. Check the mounting bracket on the HBA (system-dependent). If required for your system, replace the full-height mounting bracket that ships on the HBA with the low-profile bracket supplied. Complete step a through step d to attach the short bracket.a.Use a #1 Phillips® screwdriver that is ESD safe to remove the two Phillips screws that connect the full-profile bracket to the board. Unscrew the two screws located at the top and bottom edges of the board. Avoid touching any other board components with the screwdriver or the bracket.CAUTION: Damaging the screw can void the warranty. To prevent damage to the screw, center the screwdriver in the top of the screw.b.Remove the full-profile bracket from the HBA. Do not damage the board.c.Place the HBA on top of the low-profile bracket. Position the bracket so that the screw holes in the tabs align with the openings in the board.d.Use a #1 Phillips torque screwdriver, that is ESD safe, set to a maximum torque of 4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds. Replace the two Phillips head screws removed in step a.CAUTION: Exceeding these torque specifications can damage the board, connectors, or screws, and can void the warranty on the HBA.5. Insert the HBA into an available PCIe® slot. Locate an empty x8 PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the rear of the computer that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket screw, if applicable. Align the HBA to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the HBA correctly in the slot. The following figure shows how to insert the HBA into a PCIe slot.(As the Pic)NOTE: The shape, size, and locations of the components on your HBA and its bracket might vary from this illustration. The HBA requires a x8 PCIe slot. 6. Secure the HBA bracket to the system’s chassis. Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or engage the system retention mechanism to secure the HBA to the system’s chassis.7. Connect SAS cables between the HBA and the SAS backplane or any other SATA or SAS device. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA has two SFF-8643, internal x4, mini-SAS HD connectors. Use cables with an internal mini-SAS HD connector on one end (to connect to the HBA) and the appropriate connector on the other end to attach to the backplane or SAS/SATA devices.8. Replace the cover and any power cords, and power up the system. Replace the chassis’s cover, reconnect any power cords, and reconnect any network cables. Turn on the power.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)The hardware installation of your LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA is complete. Shipping: We ship via USPS.
