M1015 flash IT mode

[mustaf]

Hi,

I know there is lots of threads about this question, but can someone answer me if it is possible to flash this card to IT mode without computer capable of UEFI boot?

I have old machine for freenas with no UEFI and all other computers are iMacs and Macbooks,..

For flashing references I use https://zanginator.com/post/5

Thanks

Sure. It is even easier (in my opinion) if you have an older system. I flashed all the cards I have now with an older non UEFI system.
Take a look at the guide we have on the forum:

Detailed newcomers' guide to crossflashing LSI 9211 HBA and variants
https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...o-crossflashing-lsi-9211-hba-and-variants.54/

I am pretty sure it covers both methods, although I have not needed to do it in a couple years.

PS. If you don't like the instructions on our forum, these are pretty decent:
