CAUTION:
Never use a cable where power is supplied through the SAS connector because
doing so may damage the drive. Always use a spare power cord from the internal power
supply in the server. This caution does not apply to LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 and LTO-5 Ultrium
3000 tape drives.
4.
There will be unused SAS cabling within the server because the other SAS connector is not
required in this configuration. Coil and secure the unused cabling so that it does not interfere
with other components inside the server.
