HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 Server Maintenance and Service Guide

Cabling 69
DVD-ROM and DVD-RW drive cabling
The server may look different than the one shown in the following illustration, depending on the server model.
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 The 10 SFF drive configuration does not support the chipset SATA option.
o Only drive bay 1 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.
o Hard drive status LEDs are not supported.
o Hard drive thermal status monitoring is not supported.
o 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.
