•Put a jumper cap over pins 3-5 and 4-6 of the J1 jumper on the second SATA backplane, if you installed one.

•Due to limited power supply, it is not recommended that you install more than six hard disk drives on this system. If you wish to install more than six hard disk drives, install a new power supply unit with a higher power rating.
