I have a ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA Controller in a server and have just
put an M5000 Series Battery directly onto the card.

I was just expecting the battery to charge and be able to see it, but
no joy after a few days and a restart. As far as I am aware, the
battery should just be detected. What am I missing here?

The server is 8.3-RELEASE and I get:

# mfiutil show adapter

Has anyone seen this sort of behaviour before or have any pointers?

Thanks,
Gary.
