Configuring the cabling
If the internal bays are not filled to capacity, the pre-installed blind-mate data cables for the unused
internal hard drive bays may have to be unplugged from the system board to enable the proper
connection of the hard drives installed in this bracket. After all internal and optical bay hard drives are
connected, the blind mate cabling may be reconnected to the next available ports on the system board.
NOTE:If no additional SATA ports are available, move all optical devices to...

4.Connect one end of the data cable to the hard drive as shown in the following figure.
Figure 5-71  Connecting the data cables to the hard drives
5.Connect the opposite end of the data cable to the system board. Start with the lowest numbered
port connector available on the system board.
NOTE:Repeat steps 2–4 for the second hard drive.
