Firmware
The card shipped with firmware for 9300-8i even though it's an external port card (would have thought it were 9300-8e). Might be a knock-off with the wrong description flashed into it.

Installer_P16_for_Linux- contains thesas3flashutility to apply the firmwares9300_8i_Package_P16_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows- contains the firmware images themselves
There are three components to the firmwares:
- The controller firmware file, e.g.
Firmware/SAS9300_8i_IT/SAS9300_8i_IT.bin - The UEFI boot rom, e.g.
uefi_bsd_rel/mpt3x64.rom - The BIOS boot rom, e.g.
sasbios_rel/mptsas3.rom

Exiting SAS3Flash.
This shows the card is running an “IT” mode firmware, expects firmwares for SAS9300-8i, is currently running contorller firmware 16.00.10.00 and UEFI boot rom 18.00.00.00,
Upgrading
./sas3flash_linux_x64_rel/sas3flash -o -f ~/9300_8i_Package_P16_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows/Firmware/SAS9300_8i_IT/SAS9300_8i_IT.bin -b ~/9300_8i_Package_P16_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows/uefi_bsd_rel/mpt3x64.rom
Flash the controller ahd UEFI firmwares at the same time. The flash tool will do a compatibility check and warn if there's a bad combination. Might prevent an accidental bricking of the card.

Seen before, during a reboot, all disks in a RAID1 were detected as UBUnsp (unconfigured, bad, unsupported). Reseating the drives helped. To bring them back online:
- Show the foreign configurations:
