    Abstract: A system and method for insuring efficiency of a serial link between a host server and a switch is disclosed. A fabric switch has upstream ports associated with a serial link. A fabric controller is coupled to the switch. A host server includes a BIOS and a management controller. The host server has ports coupled to the serial link ports via cables to form lanes of the serial link. A memory is accessible by the controller and the management controller. The management controller reads an expected speed and width of the serial link from the memory. The BIOS determines an actual speed and width of the serial link. The management controller sends an error message if the actual speed and width do not match the expected speed and width.

    Abstract: A network system is directed to the locating and verifying data cable routing. The network system includes a data storage server with a switch device, and processing nodes, where each of processing node includes a baseboard management controller (BMC) and a host bus adapter (HBA). The network system also includes a data cable electrically connected to the switch device of the data storage server and the HBA of the processing node. A cable identifier is stored in the BMC of the processing node and the data storage server. The data storage server and each of the processing nodes are managed by a data resource manager configured to read the cable identifier stored in the BMC of the processing node and the data storage server.
