Hello, your setup involves connecting the backplane to the motherboard with a SlimSAS cable and a SAS splitter. This is causing detection issues—A2 for IDE or A6 for SCSI—and the drives aren’t showing up. Whether it works depends on hardware compatibility; you might need an HBA card if the configuration isn’t supported.

The backplane includes a SAS expander, requiring connection to an SAS controller such as a HBA or RAID card. SATA cannot be directly used through it. SAS drives are compatible, but a SAS controller must be employed.
