P500/P510/P700/P710 via BCA
For P500/P510 and P700/P710, SATA drives can be connected to the onboard Intel S-SATA controller via
a BCA. This consists of the Blind Connect to SATA Cable and dual BCA-S. Total drive support is the same
as above, with the onboard Intel S-SATA controller supporting up to 4 drives.
1. Install dual BCA-S into the HDD bays.
2. Connect the Blind Connect to SATA Cable to SATA ports 1, 2, 3, and 4 on the motherboard.
3. Connect the other end of the Blind Connect to SATA Cable to both of the BCA-S.
4. Connect the BCA-S power connector to the motherboard.
5. Remove the red marked handles to the FLEX Tray, rotate the FLEX Tray 180 degrees vertically
and install the handles back on the opposite end of the FLEX Tray.
6. Install the SATA drive into the FLEX Tray.
7. Insert the FLEX Tray with drive into the bay so the drive attaches to the left-most slots of the
BCA-S.
