Troubleshooting a Storage Controller

NOTE: When troubleshooting a SAS RAID controller, also see the documentation
for your operating system and the controller.

1 Enter the System Setup program and ensure that the SAS controller is

enabled. See “Using the System Setup Program” on page 68.

2 Restart the system and press the applicable key sequence to enter the

configuration utility program.

<Ctrl><C> for a

LSI 9210-8i HBA Card or

LSI SAS 2008

mezzanine card

<Ctrl><H> for a LSI 9265-8i SAS RAID Card

See the controller’s documentation for information about
configuration settings.

3 Check the configuration settings, make any necessary corrections, and

restart the system.

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with

the product.

4 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the

system from its electrical outlet.

5 Remove the system-board assembly. See “Removing a System-Board

Assembly” on page 170.

6 Ensure that the controller card is firmly seated into the system board

connector. See “Installing the Expansion Card” on page 186.

7 If you have a battery-cached SAS RAID controller, ensure that the

RAID battery is properly connected and, if applicable, the memory
module on the RAID card is properly seated.

8 Ensure that the cables are firmly connected to the storage controller

and the SAS backplane board.
