5820 precision

Hi,

I have a 5820 tower precision

I have try to plug 4 disk in Flexbay
disk 1 and 2 from Flexbay 0 seems available in bios and windows

but disk 3 and 4 from Flexbay 1 aren't available in bios,  Sata cable and power are plug
I try to swap disk and only disk 1 and 2 is ok
Can you tell me how have 4 disk in this tower ? It's more easy in DIY pc than dell  😢

    Verifying the following:

    *  Are both backplane 0 and 1 identical?  Remove the drives and take pictures of both for verification.

    * If backplane 1 (top) is connecting to miniSAS-HD connectors on motherboard, it's not compatible with SATA.  It will work with U.2 and NVMe solid state only.

    * Verify in BIOS settings that all SATA ports are Enable.

    I think I've found it. I swapped the power cables between the two flexbays, and it's still the one powered by the top cable that isn't working. I believe it's due to the damaged 6-pin connector.
