edit... I was having a poke around in the classifieds and see one of the guys was offering perc 6i cards...

Does anyone know if the drives will transfer from a 5i to a 6i and retain all their data, etc?
From what I read in the specs of the 6/I it said you can move from a 5/I to 6/I without any issues and retain your arrays.

I just got a 6i. What would you suggest for cooling? I see what you (DuckieHo) did. What would you recommend if you didn't have access to tools to do that?

Point a fan at it.

Without forced airflow or a bigger heatsink, it gets very hot in a few minutes.

Hey Duckie, what firmware and software to manage the PERC6/I? Does LSI have an equivalent card?

Don't know for sure....

The LSI SAS 8708ELP and 8888ELP use the same processor. However, they run 128MB and 512MB respectively.

I got an error today, which said something to the effect : "multibit ECC errors were detected on the RAID controller. The DIMM on the controller needs replacement. Please contact technical support....if you continue, data corruption may occur.

Press X to continue or power off replace the module and reboot. If you have replaced the module, press X to continue."

Does this really mean that the DIMM is gone bad or could it be temporary? The DIMM can take a week to get here. My question: Should I continue?

Also, how should I test the old and the new DIMM?

I had that same error when I was trying non-registered ECC modules while hunting for the Registered stick.

Sounds like something's wrong, but I'd try re-seating it first off... ram will often come right with a few remove-reinstalls.

As for running without it... it's a risk, but one which I'd say is pretty small...

Just use the latest Dell Firmware for the card and the LSI MegaRAID manager, works perfectly.

Is there a software to verify the speed the card is running at? (Everest home don't see my motherboard)

I don't have the most performing hard drive, but my bench look to cap at 150Mb/sec
