How to Determine Which Controller Is in Your Server

The cable connections required for each type of controller are as follows:

•Integrated ICH10R: Connect one SATA cable from the motherboard connector to the drives 1–4

connectors on the backplane.

•1064E mezzanine card: Connect one SAS cable from the single connector on the mezzanine card to

the drives 1–4 connectors on the backplane.

•LSI MegaRAID card: Connect one SAS cable from connector 1 on the card to the drives 1–4

connectors on the backplane.

For all controller types, connect the numbered cable connectors to the corresponding numbered

backplane connectors. Connect the cable connector labelled SGPIO to the backplane connector labeled

SGPIO.

The cable connections required for each type of controller are as follows:

Note Two SAS cables (R200-SASCBL) are shipped with the Cisco UCS C200 SFF server (but not with the

LFF version of the server). You can order a set of two spare SAS cables (Cisco PID UCSC-CBL-I2F1).

•Integrated ICH10R: Connect one SATA cable from the motherboard connector to the drives 1–4

connectors on the backplane. (Controls 4 drives only.)

•1068E mezzanine card: Connect SAS cable 1 from connector 1 on the card to the drives 1–4

connectors on the backplane. Connect SAS cable 2 from connector 2 on the card to the drives 5–8

connectors on the backplane.

•LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i card: Connect SAS cable 1 from connector 1 on the card to the drives 1–4

connectors on the backplane. Connect SAS cable 2 from connector 2 on the card to the drives 5–8

connectors on the backplane.

•LSI MegaRAID 9280-4i4e card: Connect one SAS cable from connector 1 on the card to the drives

1–4 connectors on the backplane. (Controls 4 drives only.)

For all controller types, connect the numbered cable connectors to the corresponding numbered

backplane connectors. Connect the cable connector labelled SGPIO to the backplane connector labeled

SGPIO.

How to Determine Which Controller Is in Your Server

If you do not have a record of which device is used in the server, you can read the on-screen messages

that are displayed during system bootup. These messages display information about the devices that are

installed in your server.

•Information about the models of card installed are displayed as part of the verbose boot. You are

also prompted to press Ctrl-H to launch configuration utilities for those cards. For servers running

CIMC firmware earlier than release 1.2(1), see also How to Disable Quiet Boot For CIMC Firmware

Earlier Than Release 1.2(1), page C-5.
