/dev/ses<x> not created

SGPIO is an out-of-band protocol. It doesn't use the same wires as
the SAS connections. It's odd that the manual says the enclosure
management chip supports SES-2 and yet there is no SAS port for it.
The chassis manual also shows that headers 7-9 are for SGPIO. Are
they connected to anything? Some Supermicro motherboards have SGPIO
headers. But I would think that if yours did, then the ses device
would show up even if the cable were unplugged. LSI HBAs are also
supposed to have builtin SGPIO controllers. But I don't know how to
enable them or if FreeBSD has driver support for them. You might
learn more by asking LSI support than SuperMicro support.
If you do have an SGPIO controller on the motherboard, you will need
FreeBSD 10.0 or later to use it.
Finally, I know you probably don't want to spend more money, but if
you want enclosure management then your best option is to replace the
backplane with a SAS-846EL. It should be mechanically compatible.
That will give you SES, which is way better than SGPIO. It also has
an expander, so you'll only need one HBA.
