Dell 2950 Internal sata port A won’t initialize

So I have a dell 2950 and I put a hdd in the cd drive spot for a boot device so I can have all 6 bays for storage. I got a molex to sata adapter and put the sata cable on port A in the motherboard. The bios recognized it but TrueNas can’t initialize it or detect it, it’s complaining about CAM csbus 3. I’m wondering if the reason it can’t initialize or detect it is because it’s not being controlled by the raid card? Is there a way to get this to work?

Hello, thanks for choosing Dell and welcome to our community.

 

The SATA port in question is for DVD rom not for HDD connection.

I’m afraid the molex to sata adapter isn’t a Dell certified part so it is best to hear from a user who actually has some success story with this. Hope this helps. 

 

Please let us know if you have any further questions.
