Appendix C RAID Controller Considerations Enabling the Mezzanine Card RAID Controller in the BIOS Enabling the Mezzanine Card RAID Controller in the BIOS When using the supported mezzanine-style RAID controller card, you must enable the ICH10R controller in Enhanced mode. Step 1 Make sure that a RAID cable is attached between the mezzanine card and the disk backplane. Step 2 Boot the server and press F2 when prompted to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
Appendix C RAID Controller Considerations 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.
Appendix C RAID Controller Considerations How to Disable Quiet Boot For CIMC Firmware Earlier Than Release 1.2(1) • If the mezzanine-style card is enabled, you are prompted to press Ctrl-C to launch the configuration for these cards. See also Enabling the Mezzanine Card RAID Controller in the BIOS, page C-3 • If no models of card are displayed but there is a RAID configuration, your server is using the onboard ICH10R controller.
Appendix C RAID Controller Considerations Restoring RAID Configuration After Replacing a RAID Controller When you boot the server and you have quiet boot disabled (see How to Disable Quiet Boot For CIMC Firmware Earlier Than Release 1.2(1), page C-5), information about your controller is displayed along with the prompts for the key combination to launch the option ROM-based utilities for your controller.
