Chipset Sata Cable Option - HP ProLiant DL388p User Manual

Depending on the server configuration, you may need to remove the primary PCI riser cage before
cabling to a PCIe expansion board.

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:
Only drive bay 5 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
o
redirected from the optical bay to the drive cage.
Hard drive status LEDs are not supported.
o
Hard drive thermal status monitoring is not supported.
o
Hot-plug operation is not supported.
o
•
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
