TRUENAS installation on UCS-240 error

Hi All,

I am trying to install 12.0u7 on Cisco-UCS 240 device and while installing the OS using Virtual Media getting the below error. Any thoughts?. Is TRUE NAS is ideal for CISCO-UCS 240 device? These are specifications
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2699A v4 @ 2.40GHz(2x22 Cores),256 GB RAM, Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Controller

You've got the wrong storage controller. You need the Cisco UCS 9300-8e HBA instead.

What's all the noise about HBA's, and why can't I use a RAID controller?

Thank you @Samuel Tai for the response. Does this model supports true nas https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/2U/2029/SSG-2029P-ACR24L.cfm. I have this model hardware in my lab but powered off so I don't have the HBA details.

Yes, that model has a Broadcom 3008 HBA in IT mode. It will work.
