It looks like you need another raid controller for the second 6-drive cage.

The built-in P410i controller has eight drive ports only. You connect it to the 6-drive cage. From this 6-drive cage you connect from the special connector to the 2-drive cage.
Then you need a second controller, P410, to connect to the other 6-drive cage. Look on page 75 and top of page 76 of the maintenance and service guide

Also page 66 and 67 of the user guide

Alternatively you can buy a SAS expander card and wire all 14 drives to the same controller.
