Has anybody done this? Is there a guide on here that I am missing?

First result on Google.

Edit:

Maybe your search terms were overly specific?

It did not come up for me. Thanks for the help…

I couldn’t find a suitable guide when I searched this morning before I left work either.

I still am not able to find anything that I can follow. For starters, I can not even find the files on supermicro website…

I struggled quite a bit to get all the required files a few months ago.

But I managed to find all in the end and have flashed 3x SMC X9DRH-7F cards with it.

PM me your e-mail and I could possibly send you a .zip of my USB stick (not sure it will boot to MS-DOS by just copying the files over?). I found out it had to be a proper MS Dos boot-disk and not a FreeDos as that really just wouldn’t work.

Thank you @B1ack . I found the files. There is an issue with the link Supermicro Data Center Server, Blade, Data Storage, AI System. Apparently Broadcom bought LSI. So where it says LSI should be broadcom. This is the correct link: www.supermicro.com - /wdl/driver/SAS/Broadcom/2308/Firmware/IT/

Thanks again man, I appreciate you looking out…

Then you’re probably OK.

I kinda misunderstood too as I was thinking you were flashing a 2208 to 2308 IT mode firmware, which is actually what I was struggling with myself, it wasn’t just to download the firmware and flash, which I guess it is in your case :slight_smile:
