Newbie Help Please: LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9240-8i P20 IT Mode for Core 12.0-U1.1?

[Braveheart777]

Hi Experts.

Forgive me for being a newbie. My old HP MediaSmart burned up in a house fire and now I'd like to have a real, proper NAS.

I'll be using an HP workstation that has 6 channels of Serial ATA (SATA) 3.0 Gb/s.
I keep reading suggestions saying go for 6.0 Gb/s so I purchased this card on eBay:

LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9240-8i P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID + 2*SFF-8087 SATA US

LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-8i IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID + 2*SFF-8087 SATA US | eBay

I assume it is already flashed into IT mode hence the name. But, what I'm wondering is if I am plug and play ready for TrueNas Core 12.0-U1.1 and/or TrueNAS SCALE when the final is released?

If I need to do something to the card or something inside TrueNAS please let me know.

Thanks!!!

Did you ever get a reply to your thread request? I just purchased the exact same card and have been searching the threads as I don't know how to....
1...how to review Device Manager in TrueNAS to confirm the card is recognized...
2....How to properly load drivers for this card.
3....Assuming that if the first 2 are completed correctly, the Stoarge>DISKS section will populate my two additional HDDs correctly.

Look forward to hearing back! Thanks!
