Blind-mate data cable connections
NOTE: This procedure assumes that the primary hard drive is located in HDD-BAY-0, and that all
internal bays are being connected to the RAID controller.
• It is not necessary to connect all internal drives or use all four of the connectors on the MiniSAS
internal adapter cable.
• The short MiniSAS 4i-4X SATA cable is used only to connect SAS hard drives located in the internal
hard drive bays of HP Z Workstations with blind-mate cabling.
• A long MiniSASi data cable is used to connect SAS hard drives located in the optical drive bays. See
Standard data cable connections on page 8.
