Depending on the server configuration, you may need to remove the primary PCI riser cage ("
Remove
the PCI riser cage " on page 29 ) before cabling to a PCIe expansion board.
Chipset SATA cable option
With the chipset SATA cable option, the chipset SATA controller can be used with a single SATA hard drive
that is installed in one hard drive bay of the SFF or LFF hard drive cage.
• When using the chipset SATA configuration, the following conditions apply:
o Only drive bay 5 is enabled. The remaining drive bays are disabled.
o The optical bay is disabled because the chipset SATA controller port on the system board is
redirected from the optical bay to the drive cage.
