Broadcom 96xx User Guide
When using active cables with the 9600-16e adapter, eHBA 9600-8e adapter, or eHBA 9600-8i8e adapter, you must
implement an additional step if your active cable requires that the Vman port (management interface power) be toggled.
The Broadcom adapter toggles the active cable's Vact port (active cable power), but not the Vman port after an online
firmware update or for other conditions that result in a soft reset. If your active cable requires that the Vman port be
toggled, the cable must be removed and reinserted, or power to the card slot must be cycled. If neither action is done, the
PCIe/SAS link will not be restored. If the active cable requires that only the Vact port toggle, no power cycle or cable re-
insertion is needed.
The following table shows the cable pinout for the cable that Broadcom provides for the external adapter. See
Drawings and Pinouts for drawings and pinouts of each listed cable. Use the drawings if you source your own cables.
