I have some doubts about the controller assembly in the server, I mean the length of the card.

That's how it looks in the server

the metal part when you push on the purple section it should lift up exposing the riser extention. correct. the car doesnt sit up right its actually suppose to sit on its side.

So i have all cable and hardware on board.

 

First problem is  LSI Logic SAS3444E/IBM 25R8071 3GB 4-port PCI-E HBA SAS Controller Driver.

Is it possible to install RedHat driver in CentOS ?

red hat driver should work since its still linux base driver. but if it doesnt just make sure you can return back to your previos state before installation.

I have some problems with detecting this card, lspci does not show device.

 

+ i don't have fc_host in 

/sys/class/

Windows Server (2008, 2016) Manager does not show device.

Unfortunately, I will have to hand it over to the seller.

 

In the meantime, I ordered
