Hi Mike,
We are also attempting to convert our DL180 G6s from 12-bay 3.5" drives to 25-bay 2.5" drives.
I purchased 2 of the 25-bay cages and I cannot get them to work on our DL180s. The DL180 simply will not power on when the 25-bay cages are installed. If I re-connect the previous cage, no problem.
Do I need additional cables? I've used the 2 hard-wired cables that came on the 25-bay cage (power and USB), and I have 2 of the Mini SAS 4x cables. There are a total of 3 cables connected to the backplane board and 2 cables to the chassis. Do I need something else?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Daniel.
