It has 12 drives. 8 drives are installed into the front cage, and 4 are installed into the rear cages. Is there a way to connect all the drives to the p408i SMart array?</P><P>Kind regards</P><P>Andrew Rycroft</P> Sat, 22 May 2021 14:47:58 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hpe-proliant-gen-10-with-p408i-smart-array-connecting-rear/m-p/7135616#M174707 AWR 2021-05-22T14:47:58Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hpe-proliant-gen-10-with-p408i-smart-array-connecting-rear/m-p/7135650#M174710 <P>you could add&nbsp;SAS expander card with your P408i .</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Snap1.jpg" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.hpe.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/123481i27A682C2629E87CE/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="Snap1.jpg" alt="Snap1.jpg" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>2 sas port from P408i , 4 SAS port to 4x HDD cage.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 23 May 2021 06:49:24 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hpe-proliant-gen-10-with-p408i-smart-array-connecting-rear/m-p/7135650#M174710 mysy 2021-05-23T06:49:24Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hpe-proliant-gen-10-with-p408i-smart-array-connecting-rear/m-p/7136082#M174758 <P style="margin: 0;">Hi AWR,</P> <P style="margin: 0;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="margin: 0;">As suggested you could add SAS expander card with your P408i -&nbsp;2 sas port from P408i , 4 SAS port to 4x HDD cage.</P> <P style="margin: 0;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="margin: 0;">Let us know if this was helpful or if any further information is required.</P> <P style="margin: 0;">&nbsp;</P> <P style="margin: 0;">Thank you</P> <P style="margin: 0;">RamKS</P> <P style="margin: 0;">&nbsp;</P> Wed, 26 May 2021 04:21:57 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/hpe-proliant-gen-10-with-p408i-smart-array-connecting-rear/m-p/7136082#M174758 ksram 2021-05-26T04:21:57Z
