Cisco UCS C22 Server Cabling
This section contains the following topics:
• Backplane and Expander Options, page C-19
• Small Form Factor 8-Drive Backplane Cabling, page C-19
• Large Form Factor 4-Drive Backplane Cabling, page C-21
Backplane and Expander Options
The server is orderable in two different versions, each with one of two different front panel/backplane
configurations:
• Cisco UCS C22 (small form-factor (SFF) drives, with 8-drive backplane.
Holds up to eight 2.5-inch hard drives or solid state drives.
• Cisco UCS C22 (large form factor (LFF) drives, with 4-drive backplane).
Holds up to four 3.5-inch hard drives.
Note Dual controllers are not supported. Do not mix controller types in the server.
Small Form Factor 8-Drive Backplane Cabling
The cable connections required for each type of controller are as follows:
• Embedded RAID, page C-19
• LSI MegaRAID 9220-4i PCIe Card, page C-20
• LSI MegaRAID 9220-8i, 9240-8i, or 9265CV-8i PCIe Card, page C-20
Embedded RAID
This option can control up to eight internal drives.
The required UCSC-CABLE-AE cable kit has two mini-SAS cables. Cable 1 controls drives 1–4 and
cable 2 controls drives 5–8.
Step 1 Connect mini-SAS cable 1 from the motherboard connector SCU_Port_0 to the drives 1–4 connectors
on the backplane (see Figure C-2).
Step 2 Connect the cable 1 SGPIO connector labeled, “S1” to backplane connector A.
Step 3 Connect mini-SAS cable 2 from the motherboard connector SCU_Port_1 to the drives 5–8 connectors
on the backplane.
Step 4 Connect the cable 2 SGPIO connector labeled, “S2” to backplane connector B.
