Converting DL585 G1 to SAS

Has anyone here converted a DL585 G1 to SAS? I see a part number
379090-B21 to convert the backplane to SAS, but does this include the new
drive cage as well? Am I going to need any other part number(s) to
complete the conversion?

Based on a quick review of the quickspec's for that machine ...

NOTE: 8-Bay SAS/SATA Cage (379090-B21) not included but is required, please
include in order. SAS Performance pack includes the Smart Array P600/256
BBWC Controller.

it would appear that the cage and array controller are included. I would
also suspect that the SAS/SATA backplane is also included, else it would be
a rather useless option.

The way to find out for sure is to call HP and get some pre-sales support
information.
