CPU: 1230v3
Mobo: X10SL7-f (2308 flashed to IT mode)
Mem: 32GB samsung 1600mhz 1.35v (4 sticks)
HBA: M1015 (flashed to IT mode)
Basically this is a bit of a how to for the M1015 flash to the IT mode as it is slightly different for the X10SL7-f due to the onboard LSI 2308.
There are many forum posts around the internet on how to flash a m1015 to IT mode as well as packages for download (including links on another thread).
I used the "UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell" for the sas2flash steps as attempting these same steps in DOS results in a PAL error. I kept banging my head against the wall for what I felt should have been an easy process, so here it goes so you may not have to go through the same problems.
Steps I followed (take no credit for any of these steps other than modifications in red which are themselves just an collection from other posts):
Create a FreeDOS USB stick and put the package on the USB stick and then boot to the USB drive.
Type in the following exactly:
megarec -writesbr 0 sbrempty.bin
megarec -cleanflash 0
<reboot into BIOS -> Save & Exit -> UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell>
fs0: (or whatever the console lists as your USB drive)
sas2flash.efi -listall (will show you the 2 controllers if using my same setup and take note of the controller index)
sas2flash.efi -o -c X -f 2118it.bin -b mptsas2.rom (X is the controller index from above)
sas2flash.efi -o -c X -sasadd 500605bxxxxxxxxx (X is the controller index from above and x= numbers for SAS address)
<reboot>
Done!
