https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/RAID-Controller-Connection/m-p/421993#M9971 <P>I am using an RS2BL080 RAID controller in an SR2600UR server system. My question is, should I be using an HBA cable to connect the controller to the server midplane? I have several servers with this configuration, but only recently started using the HBA cable. I have new server, with the HBA cable connected, and it rebooted and generated this error: </P><P>Controller ID: 0 Sensor bad on enclosure: 1 </P><P> Sensor 5</P><P>Event ID:184</P><P></P><P>Is the HBA cable necessary and could it have contributed to the error? Any help is appreciated.</P> Wed, 25 Jul 2012 14:12:08 GMT idata 2012-07-25T14:12:08Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/RAID-Controller-Connection/m-p/421993#M9971 <P>I am using an RS2BL080 RAID controller in an SR2600UR server system.
