DL385 SAS is Fast!

We did our first Windows 2003 64-bit install to a DL385 with a single dual
core 2.2 processor and 73 GB 10K SAS drives. The drives were impressively
fast, and I was a bit surprised considering the toyish 2.5" form factor.
We had the boot device configured as two 73GB drives in RAID 1+0.

One unexpected result was that when connecting the second port of the P600
SAS controller to the drive positions 5 through 8, three out of four drive
slots hang the SAS card completely at boot time. Only slot 7 worked.
Is there a trick to getting the second bank of four drives to all work?
