7. Disconnect the SAS-SATA cables from the SAS backplane.
IMPORTANT: When installing a x3/x1 SAS cable, HP recommends that the x3 part of the x3/x1
cable be linked to the SAS drive backplane connector that corresponds to drive slots 1 to 4. In this
setup, drive slot 1 will not be available, but since drive slots 2 to 4 will be connected, one
