To save the SAS Address we’ll need to use sas2flash.
(If you have a UEFI motherboard then see the steps below for UEFI motherboards)
If you have a Dell Perc H200 then follow the below steps. Hit enter once or twice and you should scroll through screens that look like this:. If you have a Dell Perc H310 then follow these steps. If your card doesn’t have a sticker with the SAS Address you should be able to follow these steps to obtain the address. Clicking or Double-clicking on Patriot Memory should boot into the DOS environment as shown below. The drive also shows up indented here and labeled Patriot Memory PMAP. This is presented on the Save & Exit tab. In the below screen shot you can see a GIGABYTE UEFI BIOS screen. Yours will most likely be labeled by whatever type of drive you have.
The USB drive shows up indented and labeled Patriot Memory. At this screen you can hit F8 and select a boot device.
In the below screen shot you can see an ASUS UEFI BIOS Utility screen. This will be different for every motherboard but should be similar. If not you will need to select the drive from a boot menu. With the bootable USB drive inserted (may work best in a USB2.0 port on the back of the computer) a reboot may boot directly into the USB drive. Next we’ll want to reboot and boot into FreeDOS/MS-DOS. The root of the USB drive should look like this:. Once you’ve created the bootable USB drive in step 1 you want to copy the contents of LSI-9211-8i.zip onto the USB drive. First thing we need to do is prepare the USB drive. If it does then write this down so it’s easily accessible. Your card may have a sticker on it marked SAS Address. Make sure you don’t cover the A pins on the other side.ī Pins that need to be covered A Pins that should be left exposed. Thanks to Andy_Steb from AVS for sharing this tip he found. You can cover them with a thin piece of electrical tape. If you have a Dell Perc H310 and your computer won’t boot then you’ll need to cover PCIe pins B5 and B6. Both of these guys have provided great guides on flashing IBM M1015 cards and other great information. Thanks to mobilenvidia and Bryan Vyhmeister () for providing/finding a lot of the files and information used here. The default sas2flash tools are P05 which allow downgrading and flashing of non-compatible firmware in many cases. #Dell perc h200 initializing zip
The ZIP also contains versions of the tools that will make this process a bit easier. This has been updated to support the latest version of FreeNAS. The main firmware file in this ZIP is P20. This should already be included in the LSI-9211i8i.zip I’ve provided in the next link.You’ll want the version: Precompiled x86_64 UEFI Shell v1 Binary.For those with newer UEFI motherboards you’ll need boot圆4.efi ( link) ( alternate link).You can follow this post on using Rufus to create a quick FreeDOS bootable USB Drive.
If you’re just looking for a list of commands that need to be executed then check the very bottom of this page. I’ve also included driver, firmware and sas2flash folders that contain a wide array of sometimes hard to find versions. This will help mainly those who were getting stuck on the H200 cards.

The default sas2flsh.exe and sas2flash.efi in this new ZIP file are p5 which allows you to pretty much overwrite/downgrade any firmware. the difference between the old and new ZIP file is the sas2flsh and sas2flash versions. So I’m not sure why I retyped all of this instead of just updating the ZIP file in the old guide.

So this guide will be the update to my first guide… without double checking everything I’m pretty sure it’s almost identical except for the link to the ZIP file. WARNING: If you have an Integrated, Mini or Mini Mono Perc H310 do NOT try to crossflash with these steps.
