you can not replace the Raid firmware on this card with "IT" firmware, furthermore the card does not support JBOD as a configurable option this card (LSI 84016E ) is RAID ONLY and only works in Raid modes it will never become a HBA card
i have used this model and i am aware of it's specs/abilitys the best you might do is to make each drive attached a raid 0 array which will give you a hacked JBOD that is using the LSI boot code on each drive instead of letting the motherboard chipset control the drive (which is what a true jbod controller allows)
you decided on the LSI 84016E for some reasion, i hope the card works out for you and if not then consider the cards i recomended

the asm 1061 chip has builtin drivers under windows 10 so if you run that os it's on less thing to worry about
you might want to try resetting the bios back to factory defaults, next inspect very closely how the card is mating with the pci-e socket, i have seen some cheap cards where the metal bracket causes the card to not seat properly
have you tested the z600 pci-e slot(s) with a diffrent card? does it show up? if not then the issue may be the motherboard

when the card is in the z600 is anything connected to it? if so disconnect and try just the card boot and see if device manager shows the device/card if you are getting to the post/bios prompt with the card installed does it show up under the set boot drvice section of the bios? and if this card controls the boot drive is it first in the list after USB/CDrom devices
It is possible the card itself is bad the z series workstations follow the pci-e bus spec to the letter whereas some other board makers do not
i recomend you either replace the card with one that uses the same chipset (not the best solution)
or,.....get a pci-e card that is x2 instead of x1, the x2 card will be able to run at a true 6GBps speed sustained instead of up to 5GBps thes cards sell for about 30/40 dollars
SYBA SI-PEX40062 PCI-Express 2.0 x2 Low Profile Ready SATA III (6.0Gb/s) Controller Card

i think that "SDH" who also posts here and has a z600 has said the onboard intel ports do support eSATA however i don't recall if Port Multiplication is also supported on this model (with intel i't's hit and miss for this feature
if you can swing the slight price increase a LSI 9212 based card with "IT firmware would be a better choice
also note that if you find a 9212 but the card has "IR" firmware (raid) installed you can easely reflash with "IT" firmware
a 9212 card with "IT" firmware is known as a HBA card (host bus adapter) and simply add more sata ports nothing more
as such a drive connected on this ard can be disconnected and reconnected on a motherboard SATA port and continue to work
9212 cards are about 40-50 dollars on ebay

while the card you posted to will work it's very limited i STRONGLY RECOMEND you select another card which has better OS support, supports larger drives, and supports the SATA 6GBps bus speed the card you are thinking about using is at the bottom of the barrel nowadays (fyi this LSI chipset was released over 16 years ago)
next, i suspect the card you are buying is a raid card, as such if the card fails you better hope you can find a replacement or your array is toast unless a newer LSI card can read the raid information stored on the drives
lthe lsi 9212 cards can be had for under 30.00 and as i noted can be flashed to IR or IT firmware
a dell Perc H310 card is also a good choice and is quite cheap and feature rich
