CAUTION:
Never use a cable where power is supplied through the SAS connector because
this may damage the drive. Always use a spare power cord from the server's internal power
supply. This caution does not apply to LTO–6 Ultrium 6250 and LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 tape
drives.

This will leave unused SAS cabling within the server because the other SAS connector is not
required in this configuration. Coil and secure the unused cabling so that it does not interfere
with other components inside the server.
