Caution – Failure to fill all slots with AMCs or cover with filler panels can negatively impact the cooling of the system.
9.Power on the system, if necessary.
Refer to your system manual for instructions on correctly powering on the system. After power is applied to the chassis, the internal MMC controller runs a self-test that runs for approximately 10 seconds. Upon a successful power up self-test, the blue Hot-Swap LED will blink and then turn off, indicating that the module has been placed in operation.
1.7Enabling and Disabling SAS Ports
As shipped from the factory, the AMC.1-HDD SAS disk will not drive AMC channel ports, unless specifically enabled. You can individually enable or disable the ports using lsiutil, a command-line utility supplied by LSI Corporation, and distributed as part of the software driver distribution. Changes are stored in 32K x 8-bit NVSRAM, located on the module.
▼To Enable AMC Port 2 (Driven by Port 1 of SAS Controller)
lsiutil –p 1 –a 13,,,,1,1,,,,,,,,,0,0
▼To Enable AMC Port 3 (Driven by Port 2 of SAS Controller)
lsiutil –p 1 –a 13,,,,2,1,,,,,,,,,0,0
The “-p 1” selects the controller chip. If the AMC.1-HDD SAS disk is the only LSI controller chip present in the system then the default is controller 1. If there are other LSI controller chips present in the system, then the user has to determine the proper controller number.
