Find right cables for Perc H730P?

Question

Hello, I have recently purchased a R7910 and installed H730P Perc SAS Raid controller (P/N X4TTX).

The controller card is found in boot and looks good (I can CTRL-R and enter config etc.), but I don't have cables to connecto the disk array (P/N K7G00) which is 8 pcs of 2.5" discs. There are two cables required, SAS-A and SAS-B.

I need cables to connect the harddisk backplane to the H730P controller which have two connectors SAS A/B.

The connectors on K7G00 are Mini Sas and same on the H730P controller card. I don't know which cables to purchase to connect it correctly.

I was looking at 9MHYN but is unsure if it is long enough and if the connectors fit on the X4TTX card (the 2 connectors for controller card seems to be glued to eachother).

Please advice, preferably with Dell Part numbers for cables. Thanks!

For posterity, I can confirm, after purchasing and installing the right SAS A/B cable for a Dell R7910 with backplane (P/N K7G00) to PERC H730P controller (X4TTX), cable required is indeed Dell P/N 9MHYN. This information was hard to come by (would be great if Dell had a page with computer models, perc cards and supported cable combos in a matrix/table), and I'm glad if I by providing this info here can help anyone in the future, looking for the correct cable to support this configuration. I tried two cables in vain, which looked allright on the image, but didn't connect for various reasons. Regards, PerAnCa

Hi&#xa0;@PerAnCa&#xa0;,As per a previous thread answered by a Dell staff, it should be&#xa0;WVF6J&#xa0;or&#xa0;TK2VY.&#xa0;&#xa0;

Thanks, sorry but I was looking for the H730P PERC cable, not the H710P which I mistakenly wrote before. Thanks!
