Subvendor is Fujitsu Siemens - so I guess this is integrated into a sys= tem by them.

Based on [0], 2108 based controllers don't support 4kn. IT mode would h= elp (true passthrough), but as written above, I don't think it's an option f= or this model.

as I said earlier in the thread, I've b= ought 2 of these:

which if I'm reading that chart right should work with the 4= Kn drives. 
 

That certainly sounds promising.
