Hey. I have the netapp 4246 enclosure, with two controllers and two power supplies.

I have a LSI 9300-8E HBA.

This is the picture of my setup. It has the picture of the HBA connection, the NetApp cable connection and the HDD Sled having the light on.

I can't for the life of me figure out why the cable: Mini SAS HD SFF-8644 > Mini SAS SFF-8088 doesn't turn on any LED light in the enclosure.

The HDD Sled turns on its LED light, but the cable doesn't. Also, the cable feels very wiggly.

This is my first time dealing with this NetApp enclosure and I've already searched during the last 4 hours of any tip for the cable, but besides pulling the blue thingy for it to latch and "click" it doesn't really seem like it's entering properly.

I'm using it in the SQUARE entrance, as that's supposedly the one I should use.

Can anyone help me understand what is going on?
