Flashing IBM MR10i to IT Mode

Got my hands on an IBM Server Raid MR10i Raid Controller. Want to make it into IT mode - but I'm rather clueless on where to find the necessary firmware or the process involved. Found lots of info on BR10i & M1015 - nothing about MR10i.

Can someone guide me here - I'm new to flashing Raid Controllers to HBA.(Assuming this can be flashed to IT Mode)

AFAIK , M1015 can be flashed using LSI firmware, since it is actually a rebranded LSI card.
Check your card and see if this is the case, too.

The only thing I could find was this was IBM listing this as an LSI 1078 chip based card

the lsi controller that have ram onboard normally can not be flashed to it mode.
