The location information of a disk drive is determined by three types of connections:
Direct attached drives—The connection is determined by the cable connected to a device, for
example CN1 (connector 1) is connected to DEV1 (device 1). For more information, see
Direct-attach Connections on page 75.
Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) managed devices—The connection is determined by an active
backplane. Box0 (enclosure 0) is connected to slot0 (disk drive slot 0 in the enclosure). For more
information, see Backplane Connections on page 76.
Expanders—The connections is determined by an expander. Exp0 (expander 0) is connected to
phy0 (phy 0 within a connector). For more information, see SAS Expander Connections on page
76.
Note: Devices other than disk drives (CDROM, tape drives, etc...) are listed in order
after your system disk drives.
Setting the Drive Write-Cache Policy
Note: This option is available in the uEFI interface only.
If the global write cache policy is set to "Drive Specic" (see General Controller Settings on page 91),
you can set the write-cache policy for individual disk drives on the controller. (If the global write-cache
policy is set to Enable All or Disable All, this option is grayed out.)
To set the drive-specic write-cache policy:
1. Start the ARC utility in uEFI mode (see Running the ARC Utility on page 86).
2. Select the controller you want, then press Enter.
3. Select Disk Utilities.
4. Select the disk drive you want, then press Enter.
5. Select Write Cache, then choose the policy for the drive: Write-Back (Enable) or Write-Through
(Disable).
6. Select Submit.
Updating the Controller Firmware
Note: This option is available in the uEFI interface only.
Use this option to ash the controller's rmware.
To update the controller rmware:
1. Start the ARC utility in uEFI mode (see Ctrl-A or uEFI/HII? on page 86).
2. Select Administration, then select FW update from Media.
3. Select the device you want to ash, then press Enter.
4. Browse the folder hierarchy, select the rmware update (.UFI) le, then press Enter.
5. Select Update Firmware.
The rmware is sent to the controller and the system veries the operation to ensure that it was
successful.
6. When the verication is complete, press Enter to reboot the server.
