The H710 series of controllers have been only tested and validated in the Dell 12th generation servers (such as the PE 720).   Checking further, your H710p came from a Precision workstation.  The following information validates this information, which came from the nocheck.bat file for this controller: The controller may or may not work in your PE710, it just hasn't been tested or validated.  Good luck! Regards,    
Hallo, i recently bought an used DELL PERC H710p but i cant update the firmware nor install the driver. I always get an error like:"No supported controllers present or detected" First i thought it's because the PERC H710p is not supported on an DELL R710 Server. But after some research i found something odd.The reason why the firmware update fails is simply the fact, that the "SUBDEV=1f38" required during the update can't be fond. My "H710p" has a different SUBDEV. Its SUBDEV is 1f77. So my question is, did i bought some "fake" controller ?If its not a "fake" controller, what must i do to update my H710p and how do i install the drivers ? Thank You Here the log from Megafl:Adapter #0==============================================================================                    Versions                ================Product Name    : PERC H710P AdapterSerial No       : xxxxx - Im not sure if its save to post a sn on the internet.
