Connect two drive cages to a SCSI single channel
Connect two drive cages to a SCSI single channel
(OP)
We have purchased a ProLiant ML530 with additional internal drive cage installed. But we are unable to connect both drive cages to the single Ultra3 channel of the SmartArray-431 controller. SmartArray-431 could support up to 15 Ultra3 harddisks and each drive cage could be inserted up to 6 harddisks. It will be waste that both drive cages have to connect to different controllers.
Although the sale claims that there is a cable bundled with ML530, we are still unable to connect both drive cages due to the limitation length of the cable.

The problem is probably that both the cages are terminated.
On an other proliant i had a similar problem, and the only thing i had to do is take of a little pcb and than connect cage 1 to cage 2 with a supplied cable.
The answer to this problem was on the inside of the cover of the case.
