Erasing SAS drives with a P410

I need to erase a pile of SAS drives (12G DP 10K 900GB 787647-001).   I don't have a spare HP server with SAS to do it.

I purchased an HP P410 (462919-001) controller and a cable set on Amazon.  I installed it in an old Dell SC1430. It initializes and an LED is green.

I can boot the HP ACU offline CD and the controller is recognized.  I was able to install an eval license. I get code 347 (cache not configured) and 267 (no drives) status codes.

The drives don't even spin up. I know the SATA power edges are on.

What am I missing?  The explanation for the code 267 says 1) there are no supported drives connected (meaning these drives aren't compatibel with this controller) or 2) a bad cable 3) dupe SCSI IDs (still happens with one drive attached) or 3) power to drives is off (nope) or 4) missing OS drivers (not applicable under ACU, right?)
