IMPORTANT:
The ProLiant ML530 Generation 2 server ships with the drive cages cabled
internally to SCSI connectors A and B.
If you want to cable a SCSI device to SCSI connector A or B using the internal-to-external
SCSI cable assembly, you must first disconnect the appropriate drive cage cable. Once you
have disconnected a drive cage cable, you must cable it to a controller board to retain use of
that drive cage.
The following illustration shows a rack server cabled to an external storage device
through the optional VHDCI SCSI connector.
