July 14, 20241 yr Hi there, I am working on a new system and not all the drives are showing up. I am using a LSI 24i in IT mode and only some of the drives show up. I uploaded the diagnostics to this. Also if it helps the case I am using is this one SilverStone Technology RM43-320-RS 4U 20-Bay. It has SAS backplanes so I am using 8647 to 8647 cables from the HBA. Thanks in advance tower-diagnostics-20240713-1950.zip

Any idea why only 1 drive per cable off of the HBA? it should be in IT mode but maybe it isn’t? all drives power up and I made sure molex power is supplied to all backplanes Edited July 17, 20241 yr by brittishsnow
