  1. Have you got the card in the right PCI slot? Usually needs to be the one closest to the CPU
  2. I get Temperature reading for all my drives on the HBA so that's very strange. What OS you running, kinda sounds like OS issues?
  3. That's the version number I was thinking of, couldn't remember to hand, my zip files contain 20.00.07.00 :-)
  4. Firmware in the guide isn't the early p20 firmware. Do you just have the one SAS to SATA breakout cable or two? Unlikely your card has died, unless it wasn't seated probably in the slot and caused a short.
  5. You can flash, the card without the mptsas2.rom as that's just the bios interface for the card. People have flashed SAS cards before without that rom, and they still show in the OS fine and work. So you maybe able to get away with not flashing the rom.
  6. I didn't know SATA1 wasn't supported, good catch though. Make sure to try all the breakout cable ports, check the drive works in both 2 SAS ports and each breakout sata works. If it does then the SBR you've got flashed is the correct one.
  7. Is your card D2607-8i A11 or D2607-8i A21? This will be written on the card PCB Go to my post on the first page, put the files on the USB, you only need to go run the command on the "Reboot the USB in non UEFI mode. (DOS)" section. And run the 4-21.BAT command, either 4-21.bat or 4-11.bat. One of those should work, has done for every card I've flashed. It needs to be the right one to get the SAS ports working. LsHallo had to make a new SBR, but if it goes that far we'll try that if needs be.
  8. Did you flash a different SBR? ALSO DO NOT override the backed up SBR in step 2, we may need this. You do not need to run this step again, just the once. 2.BAT or megarec -readsbr 0 O-SBR.bin
  9. Yeah that's correct just run that command in the FreeDOS environment. Unless you can find another original SBR from a d2607-a11. And see if the PCI vendor id is also different from the first SBR and the ones I just gave you. Might be worth buying another card, get the original SBR from it, create the 3 SBRs to try, see if that works. Then see if it works, if not then flash that new card and see if it works. If both work then sell one of the cards on eBay they usually sell if their been flashed with IT mode. I'm at a loss now, to what the issue might be, sounds like SBR issue to me though. 🤔
  10. I just found my old USB I used to flash these cards and I had an original SBR on it. It has a slightly different "PCI Vendor and Product ID". So I've patched it and done the 3 versions of it with the magic bit changed. See how these go. try2.sbrtry1.sbrtry3.sbr
  11. Ah I think you may not be getting the screen cause your OS is booting in UEFI mode, change it over to CSM/BIOS mode, you should then get a BIOS post screen for the card. This isn't the exact screen but its very similar.
  12. Now that is strange, so both ports work but not at the same time... that's not how it went doing my testing and with the cards I was testing (I flashed 13 in total)... Only one out of the two SAS ports would ever work. Wonder if something has changed with the newer versions of these D2607 cards. How many disks are recognised by the BIOS utility for the adapter (Press F2 thingy on the megaraid thingy)? when you have both cables populated?
