It came from: ESRT2_IR_readme.txt and does mention the 1068e chipset, as well as that firmware rev. ================ Package Information ================ FW and OpROM Package for Native SAS mode, IT/IR mode and Intel(R) Embedded Server RAID Technology II Package version: 2009.10.06 FW Version = 01.29.00 (includes fixed firmware settings) BIOS (non-RAID) Version = 06.28.00 BIOS (SW RAID) Version = 08.09041155 Supported RAID modes: 0, 1, 1E, 10, 10E and 5 (activation key AXXRAKSW5 required for RAID 5 support) Supported Intel(R) Server Boards and Systems: - S5000PSLSASR, S5000XVNSASR, S5000VSASASR, S5000VCLSASR, S5000VSFSASR - SR1500ALSASR, SR1550ALSASR, SR2500ALLXR, S5000PALR (with SAS I/O Module) - S5000PSLROMBR (SROMBSAS18E) without HW RAID activation key AXXRAK18E installed (native SAS or SW RAID modes only) - for HW RAID mode separate package is available - NSC2U, TIGW1U Supported Intel(R) RAID controller (adapters): - SASMF8I, SASWT4I, SASUC8I Intel(R) SAS Entry RAID Module AXX4SASMOD, when inserted in below Intel(R) Server Boards and Systems: - S5520HC / S5520HCV, S5520SC,S5520UR,S5500WB ================ Known Restrictions ================ 1. The sasflash versions within this package don't support ESRTII controllers. 2. The sasflash utility for Windows and Linux version within this package only support Intel(R) IT/IR RAID controllers. The sasflash utility for Windows and Linux version within this package don't support sasflash -o -e 6 command. 3. The sasflash utility for DOS version doesn't support the Intel(R) Server Boards and Systems due to BIOS limitation. The DOS version sasflash might still be supported on 3rd party server boards which don't have the BIOS limitation. 4. No PCI 3.0 support 5. No Foreign Configuration Resolution Support 6. No RAID migration Support 7. No mixed RAID mode support ever 8. No Stop On Error support ================ Known Bugs ================ (1) For Intel(R) chipset S5000P/S5000V/S5000X based server systems, please use the 32 bit, non-EBC version of sasflash which is SASFLASH_Ph17-1.22.00.00\sasflash_efi_bios32_rel\sasflash.efi, instead of the ebc version of sasflash which is in the top package directory and also in SASFLASH_Ph17-1.22.00.00\sasflash_efi_ebc_rel\sasflash.efi. The latter one may return a wrong sas address with a sasflash -list command in the listed systems. (2) LED behavior does not match between SES and SGPIO for some conditions (documentation in process). (3) When in EFI Optimized Boot mode, the task bar is not displayed in EFI_BSD after two volumes are created. (4) If a system is rebooted while a volume rebuild is in progress, the rebuild will start over from the beginning. ================ Fixes/Updates ================ Version 2009.10.06 1. Fixed - MP2 HDD fault LED stays on after rebuild completes 2. Fixed - System hangs if drive hot-unplugged during stress Version 2009.07.30 1. Fixed - SES over i2c for 106x products 2. Fixed - FW settings updated to support SES over i2c drive lights on FALSASMP2. Version 2009.06.15 1. Fixed - SES over I2C issue for 1078IR. 2. Updated - 1068e fw to fix SES over I2C on MP2 bug. 3. Updated - to provide NCQ queue depth of 32 (was 8) on 1064e and 1068e and 1078 internal-only controllers in IR and ESRT2 modes. 4. Updated - Firmware to enable SES over I2C on AXX4SASMOD. 5. Updated - Settings to provide better LED indicators for SGPIO. Version 2008.12.11 1. Fixed - Media can't boot from SATA DVD in some systems in Software RAID (ESRT2) mode. 2. Fixed - Incorrect RAID 5 ECC error handling in Ctrl+M Version 2008.11.07 1. Added support for - Enable ICH10 support 2. Added support for - Software RAID5 to support ICH10R 3. Added support for - Single Drive RAID 0 (IS) Volume 4. Fixed - Resolved issue where user could not create a second volume immediately following the deletion of a second volume. 5. Fixed - Second hot spare status not shown when first hot spare is inactive/missing Version 2008.09.22 1. Fixed - SWR:During hot PD removal and then quick reboot, not updating the DDF correctly. Version 2008.06.16 1. Fixed - the issue with The LED functions are not working inside the OSes for SWR5 2. Fixed - the issue with (IR-Only) Volume rebuild fails after cold swap in IME volume with hotspare 3. Fixed - the issue with When a degraded RAID volume with a missing disk is rebooted, it may resync to a non-RAID disk. 4. Fixed - the issue with (IR-Only) Physical Disk firmware download commands are being rejected 5. Added support for (IR-Only) Allow the host to set the name of a RAID volume Version 2007.12.05 1. Fixed incorrect system-dependent firmware settings. This includes fix for the issue with HDD not being detected in Slot1 with SR2500ALLX system. 2. Added support for more than one SAS expander 3.
