October 12, 20232 yr Hi, I've completed hardware for my unraid system: case: https://www.inter-tech.de/productdetails-144/2U-2404S_EN.html mb: https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/N100M/ RAM: Patriot 16GB Sata controller: https://axagon.eu/pl/produkty/pces-sa4x4 HDDs: https://www.toshiba-storage.com/pl/products/toshiba-internal-hard-drives-n300/ (4tb x2) MiniSas to sata reverse cable: https://www.amazon.pl/dp/B001BIN3N6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details After setting it up. My drives are not spinning in hotswap bays. Trying to connect those directly to motherboard, and pcie sata controller and works fine, but tried to connect it by backplane hdds are dead. Hardware problem or it's need some configuration? i've got no other idea anymore. ;( Thansf for answeare.
October 12, 20232 yr Did you correctly power up the backplane ? May be reverse cable not reverse type.

After boot led from bays are glowing. reverse cable != reverse type? for me it is new types of connection. I bought 1 cable forward it was my mistake for sure, now i bought this one. From description: Quote SAS cable, Mini SAS SFF8087 (36pin) to 4x SATA, 1:1 assignment (= straight through = reverse breakout, OCR) , for connecting drives or backplanes to a host-controller with 4 SATA connectors. Now I ordered exact cable described by case producer, tried to do it already but was out of stock. Now ordered it from other destination but more than one week will wait to deliver Stay tuned
October 13, 20232 yr I means may be you order reverse cable but actually got a forward one. 15 minutes ago, pawelb said: Now ordered it from other destination but more than one week will wait to deliver Stay tuned Sound good for that.
