Configuring the cabling
If the internal bays are not filled to capacity, the pre-installed blind-mate data cables for the unused
internal hard drive bays may have to be unplugged from the system board to enable the proper
connection of the hard drives installed in this bracket. After all internal and optical bay hard drives are
connected, the blind mate cabling may be reconnected to the next available ports on the system board.
NOTE:
If no additional SATA ports are available, move all optical devices to the SAS data ports. To
locate connectors on the system board, see the service label on the side access panel.
To connect the hard drive cables:
1.
Use the following figure to connect the supplied Y-adapter power cable to the power connectors
on the SFF hard drives (1).
