prompted to start the WebBIOS utility.

RAID Controller Cabling

The possible RAID controller connectors in this server are shown in Figure C-1. The blue line indicates the

recommended cable routing path from the backplane to the possible controller locations.

Note The Cisco UCS C200 SFF server is shown, with an eight-drive backplane. The LFF server has a four-drive

backplane.
