Cisco UCS c210 SAS Cable for LSI MegaRAID 9261-8i

[SterlingChris]

Is there something special with the internal SAS cable? LSI says I need SFF-8087 cable but doesn't appear its that simple. 

Thanks!

What is the problem?

"The expander has two mini-SAS SFF-8087 cable connectors. One connector provides connection for up to 16 drives, and the second connector provides redundancy. "

How many disk do you have and how many do you want to support?

The LSI 8i supports connecting two SFF-8087 cables but appears a standard SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cable doesn't work. I am not sure if Cisco has some proprietary pinout in the stock SAS cable before I keep troubleshooting while the second standard cable isn't working.
