Add secound Drvie Cage to DL380 Gen9

[masterblaster_b]

Hi

I'm going to order a DL380 Gen9 ( 800078-S01 ) with additional 8 sff drive (Total of 16 Drive) . 

my question is, do i need "SAS Expander Card" to add a secound cage ( 768857-B21 ) ??

this server has a built-in "Smart Array P440ar/2GB FBWC 12Gb 2-ports Int FIO SAS" Controller.

Hi,

P440ar has two ports and its enough for a single drive cage.  For additional cages, you need a SAS Expander card.

Thank You!
