I can not confirm that the LSI 1068e HBA runs with this Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131655 ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890FX But I can confirm that the new LSI HBA SAS 9211-8i http://store.lsi.com/index.cfm?category=17&subcategory=24&productid=LSI00194 do _not_ run with this Board. LSI support tells me that the Asus PCIe x16 is programmed by BIOS only for graphic cards. Asus support send me a modified BIOS but the HBA is not running. I have the same problems with a asrock board. Now I have bought a Supermicro Board and all rocks fine. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/#1156 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182212&cm_re=supermicro_x8sil-_-13-182-212-_-Product Wow its cheaper than the Asus. -- Schoenen Abend wuenscht Alexander mailto:gro...@tierarzt-mueller.de eMail geschrieben mit: The Bat! 4.0.38 unter Windows Pro _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
