DL370 G6 Config Issue

David Ashley_1 — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:18:28 GMT

Hi,
I have a DL370 G6 Performance, with the P410i/512MB BBWC Module. I also have the 2 Bay LFF Drive Cage and the 6 Bay LFF Drive Cage.

I cannot see anywhere to connect these to the Motherboard. I have 4 Cables to connect but from what I can see only 2 connections.

Thanks
Dave

Thanks for the response. It's the Cables to connect the Drive Cages to the Motherboard.

According to the Quickspecs you only need the SAS Expander Card when adding a 2nd SFF Drive Cage. The SFF Drive Cage will be removed and replaced with the LFF Drive Cage. The 2 Drive LFF Cage will sit in the Media Bay.
