# H310/H710/H710P Mini IT Mode Crossflashing
This guide allows you to crossflash 12th gen Dell Mini Mono cards to LSI IT firmware. Mini Mono refers to the small models that fit in the dedicated "storage slot" on Dell servers. Because iDRAC checks the PCI vendor values of cards in this slot before allowing the server to boot, the generic full-size PERC crossflashing guides do not apply. This guide however solves that issue. [Technical explanation](https://github.com/marcan/lsirec/issues/1#issuecomment-574971959) for those curious. **If you have the full size cards, do NOT use this guide.** The following cards are supported:

**Different Driver:** The stock Dell firmware (MegaRAID-based) uses the MegaRAID driver in Linux/FreeBSD/etc. In some distributions this can cause issues, for example FreeNAS has issues pulling SMART data from drives connected to a MegaRAID controller. After crossflashing to IT mode, the card is used by the OS via the much simpler mpt3sas driver.
## Preparation
Download the ZIP below which contains two ISOs. One is a freeDOS live boot image, the other is a Debian live boot image. Both come prepackaged with all the required tools and files, and they can be booted either via iDRAC virtual media or by burning them to a flash drive via [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/) or similar - up to you.
Ensure there is only one LSI-based adapter in your system. If there are others besides the mini PERC card, remove them! Also in the server BIOS settings, under Integrated Devices, ensure both `SR-IOV Global Enable` and `I/OAT DMA Engine` are **disabled**. They are disabled by default, so unless you've changed them in the past you should be good.
>Note: UNetbootin nor Etcher nor `dd` work to burn the FreeDOS image to a USB drive. For users on linux who can't use Rufus, just mount the ISO via iDRAC virtual media which works fine. If you need an iDRAC enterprise license to unlock virtual console/media, [contact me](mailto:jon@fohdeesha.com). We're working on modifying the ISO so it works with these other tools.

## Finding Your Card Revision
Ensure there is only one LSI-based adapter in your system. If there are others besides the mini PERC card, remove them! Also in the server BIOS settings, under Integrated Devices, ensure both `SR-IOV Global Enable` and `I/OAT DMA Engine` are disabled. They are disabled by default, so unless you've changed them in the past you should be good.
Boot the server off the FreeDOS ISO. Once it's booted, just run the following command, which will spit out the name and revision of your card:
