Cisco UCS C240 Server Installation and Service Guide

OL-25761-01z

Chapter 3      Maintaining the Server

Installing or Replacing Server Components

Note

There is also a serial number label on the card, but it is recommended that you use the 

fio-status 

command to confirm the serial number is an adapter serial number (FIO SN in the 

sample output above).

Step 2

Set the override parameter by editing the 

/usr/modprove.d/iomemory-vsl.conf

 file, which is installed 

when you install the device drivers.

Change the value for the 

external_power_override

 parameter, where the 

<value>

 for this parameter is 

a comma-separated list of adapter serial numbers.

options iomemory-vsl external_power_override=<

value

For example:

options iomemory-vsl external_power_override=1149D0969,1159E0972

Step 3

Reboot the server or unload and then load the drivers to enforce the parameter changes.

RAID Controller Card Cable Routing

If the PCIe card that you are installing or replacing is a RAID controller card, see 

RAID Controller 

Considerations, page C-1

 for cable routing and other guidelines.
