# 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. **If you have the full size cards, do NOT use this guide.** The following cards are supported:
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:
* H310 Mini Mono
* H710 Mini Mono
* H710P Mini Mono
Please note that we're not the first to do this by far, a few eBay sellers figured this out and have kept it a secret in order to crossflash these themselves, then sell hundreds of them for 4x the cost of the original cards. In the spirit of open source, this guide is intended to allow users to save money and do it themselves. If you're lazy and want a pre-flashed card, [eBay](https://www.ebay.com/sch/theartofserver/m.html) is still an option.

## Revision Info & Part Numbers
The main difference between the B0 and D1 revisions is the D1 will link at PCIe 3.0 speeds, instead of PCIe 2.0. This will almost certainly never cause a bottleneck unless you have every SAS port on the card connected to very fast SSDs that all get hammered at the same time. The difference with the *P* cards (H710P) is more cache (1GB vs 512MB), but this is totally irrelevant when running the card flashed to IT mode as the cache is not used.
Regardless, since they're the same price used, you may as well grab the D1 revision. Note that many ebay sellers just stick popular part numbers in the listing title, so try to verify in the actual auction images that the label states the correct part number. Note that most sellers omit the leading `0` so you'll get more results doing the same:
**H710 B0 Part Numbers:**
* 0MCR5X
* 0FRH64
**H710 B0 Part Numbers:**
* 0MCR5X
* 0FRH64
**H710 D1 Part Numbers:**
* 05CT6D
**H710 D1 Part Numbers:**

**H710P B0 Part Numbers:**
