How to Determine Which Controller Is in Your Server
Cisco UCS C200 LFF Server Cabling
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.
Cisco UCS C200 SFF Server Cabling
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.
