Many of you guys who have been watching my R710 build series of videos have contacted me about the SAS cables to connect the backplane to the H200 HBA. These are Dell P/N N170M and P110M. I sold these cables at my eBay store, but have since sold out. Unfortunately, I have not been able to source more of these cables and many of you have sent me messages asking when I might get more. Seeing that people needed a solution, I decided to go searching for an alternative solution. I went out and bought several sets of cables that I thought might be a close match and after some trial and error testing, I found some cables that I think will serve as a nice alternative SAS cable solution for the R710.
In this video, I'm going to show you how these alternative SAS cables will install in the R710, talk about some of the drawbacks of using these cables, as well as some of the advantages of using these alternative SAS cables over the Dell factory cables. I hope the result of my search will benefit you guys and help you out with your R710 builds. :-)
You can buy a set of these SAS cables from me here: ebay.to/3qB1mkZ
If you'd like to get a H200 pre-flashed to IT mode LSI firmware, and set correctly to work in the integrated storage slot of Dell 11th generation servers, check it out here: ebay.to/2N6PCZT
