Depending on your firmware levels it may wreck the card. In addition
Dell will obviously no longer support it nor will LSI since at that
point it will not be strictly a Dell or LSI card.

I have a DELL Perc4e/DC LSI MegaRaid 320-2E 256MB (TD977) PCI-E RAID
controller 

I was interested in updating the Firmware and wanted to FLASH it to the
latest update from LSI. 

Can I flash LSI firmware over the DELL firmware? 

LSI tells me it will wreck the card, is that true or are they playing it
safe? 

The card looks absolutly identical to the LSI branded card 



Andy,
Yes, any software updates to the card should come from Dell. The perc
familiy and lsi ultra 320 megaraid products are architectually
different. The firmware and drivers are different and could cause
irreparable damage to your hardware and operating system if installed.
Please, contact dell for further assistance in obtaining the proper
software for your product. Thanks.
