The 4100 has seperate raid controllers. There is a bug in these promise controller chips. SnapAppliance elected not to release a patch to the firmware to correct this. So there is no way to get support for LBA48bit addressing. May users have tried, over 3-5 yrs now, with no luck. You will be just spinning your wheels. Just face the fact.

The flashram for which the firmware and OS is stored is soldered in place.
