You will need to do a new config and manually assign the drives to the correct slots. Be EXTRA vigilant keeping up with which serial number is assigned to each slot, because if you have to move drives to a different controller the normally automatic unraid drive slot detection will show that the drive is missing. Just keep in mind you are going to have issues if you need to change controllers. To get the DOS firmware update tool, go here. I did see a few places that talked about the potential of flashing the H700 into "IT", but I've not seen the ADAPTER version successfully flashed into "IT" mode.
That seemed to work ok in unRAID ver 6.4. I am currently setting each drive up individually as RAID 0 through the H700 controller, initializing them and plan to let unRAID deal with the raid/parity redundancy like I did with the previous set up I had with all Dell Drives. After flashing and rebooting, the T310 and H700 recognized my Seagate 4TB Ironwolf SATA drives that were inserted into the front drive slots - and identified them as "ATA" drives. I made up a DOS boot USB Stick, booted up DOS, and then expanded the software, transferred to the USB, and ran the "update.bat" file to update my ADAPTER firmware with version A12. There was one interesting thing to realize - that there are different firmware updates for the ADAPTER card (like the one shown) and the INTERNAL cards used in other systems like the R710. So, I managed to update the firmware in my H700 RAID Adapter in my PowerEdge T310.
