I'm configuring a SYS-5019D-4C-FN8TP (SC505-203B chassis, X11SDV-4C-TP8F board) for the four 2.5" SSD configuration and I've hit a cable clearance problem I can't resolve from the documentation.

Configuration:

- Four 2.5" SATA SSDs

- Two MCP-220-00044-0N dual 2.5" brackets (per the parts list note in Section 1.1 of MNL-2212)

- No expansion card installed

- Drives oriented with cable connections facing the inside of the chassis, per Section 3.4 step 2

The problem: on the lower bracket position, standard straight SATA data cables do not clear the motherboard. The connector body and cable bend radius foul the board before the top cover will seat.

Everything I saw online does not actually show how to solve this, any help?
