Data failure or disk errors on a server with a 10 SFF drive backplane or a 12 LFF drive backplane

Symptom

Data failure or disk errors occur on a server with a 10 SFF or 12 LFF drive backplane.

Cause

The drive backplane is not cabled properly to the controller.

Action
Be sure that the drive backplane ports are connected to only one controller.

Only one cable is required to connect the backplane to the controller. The second port on the backplane is cabled to the controller to provide additional bandwidth.
