Use the i2c cable instead that is provided with the 6 port card. Here is a link to where it plugs into the SATA backplane <A href="http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=PSD_CN0713W" target="_blank">http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=PSD_CN0713W</A> <BR />If you need cables for the other two slots here is the option kit part number for the cables. 379093-B21 I pulled this from the Quick specs options section located here <A href="http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12092_div/12092_div.html#Options" target="_blank">http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12092_div/12092_div.html#Options</A> Wed, 08 Jun 2005 13:11:41 GMT Brian Wildman 2005-06-08T13:11:41Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/ml150-sata-controller/m-p/3558977#M42309 Our ML150 came with the 4 port SATA controller installed. We want to install the optional 6 port controller. Can we reuse the 4 port cable? If so how do the Activity cabls connect from the backplane to the 6 port card? Or aren't they used with the 6 port. And the IC2 cable is used instead?
