I fixed this issue by using a Dell PowerEdge R310 Non Hot-Swap Drive Cable (C450M), removed the backplane and RAID card and connected the drives directly to the motherboard instead. Obviously you lose the RAID function, by in my case this wasn't an issue
Hi all, I have a R415 with a H200 in the PCI-e slot. I need to remove this to make way for another expansion card, so need to find a solution to the hard drive connection issue this leaves. We are using a SAN so the host Server has a simple 2 drives in RAID 1 configuration. So far i can see that i have 2 options: 1) Connect the hard drives to the onboard SATA connectors, but this would involve replacing the Backplane and i assume therefore replacing the data and power cables. 2) Using the integrated SAS module by adding an compatible SAS 6/IR, S300 card, allowing use of the existing backplane and cabling. Has anyone got a recommendation on either option? OS is Server 2012 R2 which i believe rules out the S300 if i've read correctly... Cheers! [Imgur]([URL] 
R415 Replace H200 PCI with SAS 6/IR, S300 or cables....
