Re: configuring dual channel on Smart Array 6i on DL380G4
It supports internal and external.
If you are currently configured for Dual Channel on your Drive cage, then that means slot 0 and 1 are on channel 1 and 2,3,4,5 are on channel 2.
If you are not, then all the slots in the front are on channel 1 and the external connector is channel 2.
To change to single channel drive cage, there is a terminator block on the hdd backplane that needs to be removed. It is on the back side of the hdd backplane and has a clear housing on a single connector. It sits directly behind drive bays 0/1 and 2/3 internally.
I remember there being a switch on some models, but I think that may have been the DL580G3.

Re: configuring dual channel on Smart Array 6i on DL380G4
It was pretty simple. Remove the terminator block as someone mentioned, and then you need to move the SCSI cable for the drive cage so that instead of plugging the "2nd port" half of the duplex cage into the motherboard, you plug that part into where the terminator block used to be.
That will wire up the entire internal drive cage to the primary SCSI channel, and now that those drives aren't connected to the secondary channel, the external port is available now.
Sounds like you removed the terminator block okay but didn't move the cable over, so it's still taking up the secondary channel (and now your primary channel would be unterminated which can get interesting) :)
