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:
◦ Only drive bay 5 is enabled. The remaining drive bays are disabled.
◦ 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.
◦ Hard drive status LEDs are not supported.
◦ Hard drive thermal status monitoring is not supported.
◦ Hot-plug operation is not supported.
● Because only one drive bay is enabled, all remaining drives can be removed.
For proper thermal cooling, install blanks in all bays that do not have a drive installed. Order a
sufficient number of 6.35-cm (2.5-in) or 8.89-cm (3.5-in) hard drive blank option kits from an HP
authorized reseller. For more information, see the server maintenance and service guide.
● The standard SATA driver is included with supported operating systems. No additional driver is
required.

WARNING! Eliminate the risk of electric shock by removing all AC power from the system
before installing or replacing any non-hot-plug hardware option. Disconnect all power cords to
completely remove power from the server.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
IMPORTANT: It is necessary to remove the PCI riser cage only if there is a full-length
expansion board installed.
