Hello I'm not aware of anything proprietary with our SAS cables. I have used generic cables on the H700 in my personal lab. Here are the cable part numbers for our cables: Primary: M400MSecondary: P215M Thanks
Hi All! I have a PE T410 (six 3.5" LFF hot-swap bays) which came with the archaic PERC 6i controller. I want to replace this controller with something newer like an Adaptec 6805 or a Dell H700/710 which both use SFF-8087 Mini-SAS connectors, however I'm struggling with the SAS cables.  I tried with some standard generic Mini-SAS to Mini-SAS cables (Foxconn) which for for SAS A but for SAS B causes an error message ("The storage SAS B cable is not connected, or is improperly connected."). Swapping the cables doesn't move the error, and the cables work fine in another server (HP) so I guess I need some special Dell cable to avoid the error. Now, since Dell has gone to extreme lengths to make finding out the correct part numbers as diifcult as possible, my question to people here is if anyone knows what Dell SAS cables work correctly in the T410, and what the part numbers are. Any ideas?
Which Mini-SAS cables for PE T410?
