Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction, fellas! I found
MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch.rpm at the Broadcom site (as well as
storcli-1.23.02-1.noarch.rpm and the more elaborate
MegaRAID_Storage_Manager). MegaCli is now installed and seems to be
working. I found an interesting script here:

It looks like it will make life fairly convenient except my Supermicro
case doesn't have an LED for each disk so I need to sort out somehow the
correlation between a physical drive and the reported "Slot Number". I
don't suppose there is any kind of standard or convention in how an
SFF-8087 cable is labeled or oriented?
