Note: Current SCU controller design limitations prevent any hard drive attached to a SAS
expander card from being a boot device when all SCU connectors are attached to the SAS
expander card.
For storage configurations that require utilizing a hard disk drive as the boot device, the system
must be cabled as follows to ensure a boot device is found and for contiguous drive mapping (0-
16).
 The SCU port 0-3 (labeled as “SAS 0” through “SAS 3”) connector on the server board is
cabled to the first mini-SAS connector on the hot swap backplane.
 The SCU port 4-7 (labeled as “SAS 4” through “SAS 7”) connector on the server board is
cabled to Connector A on the SAS expander card.
 Cables from the SAS Expander to the hot swap backplane must be connected in order
from connector B to connector F.
11.4 Optical Drive Support
The Intel
®
Server System P4000CP includes support three 5.25” optical drive bays. The optical
drives can be installed to one of the three drive bays as illustrated below.
Note: The data cables from optical drives are recommended to connect to the two SATA 6G
connectors (white connectors) on the server board.
