Replying to another of my own threads regarding adding extra drive cages.
The ML350p G8 has two SAS connectors on the motherboard. These two connectors are disconnected from the first drive cage. An expander kit is installed in the case. The original two SAS connections are then used in a daisy configuration.
- Looking at adding two cages, the first SAS connector at the bottom of the mothboard goes to Box 3.
- From Box 3 we connect to Box 1.
- From Box 1 we connect to Box 2.
- From Box 2 we connect back to the second SAS connectorat the bottom of the motherboard.
I found this information starting on sheet 89 of this document :

I'm not sure why this information was so complicated for me to find!
