Cable part number for Dell R740 16x2.5 to HBA330 Mini

Question

Hello, I have a Dell R740 that currently has a PCIe PERC H740p card connected to the 16x2.5 backplane.  I need to replace the PCIe PERC H740P with a HBA330 mini-monolithic. My understanding is the mini-monolithic version of the HBA330 will require a new cable. Is that correct? If so, what is the part number for the cable I need? Thanks!

Hello Afterglow0566

He cables are not the same. You need the one Joey mentioned for the 2.5x16:

Part #:KW1VG (Joey mentioned)

Part Desc.:ASSY,CBL,X16BP,MPERC,APL,R740

SAS Cable - from 16*2.5 BP to mini PERC (for 2.5x16)

Part #:XPMRF

Part Desc.:ASSY,CBL,BP2.5X8,MPERC,3M,R740

SAS Cable - from 8*2.5 BP to mini PERC (for 2.5x8 )

Part #:N7HT1

Part Desc.:ASSY,CBL,BP2.5X8,MPERC,APL,R74

SAS Cable - from 8*2.5 BP to mini PERC (for 2.5x8)

You would need to get the interposer also:

Part #:04M4C

Part Desc.:ASSY,CRD,INTRPSR,MPERC,R740/XD

ASSY System Card, Mini PERC Interposer

Also, will I need the interposer card to run the HBA330 mini? Or does that come with the cable? If it is separate, what is its part number as well, please.

Hi @Afterglow0566,

That would be:

P2R3R PWA,CTL,HBA330,MCRD

KW1VG ASSY,CBL,X16BP,MPERC,APL,R740

Just to confirm your current configuration and cabling would be in Figure 7. right? And you're looking at changing the configuration to Figure 6?

That is exactly correct. My R740 current cabling is Figure 7 and I am switching to Figure 6.

Are Dell P/N XPMRF or N7HT1 the same as KW1VG or compatible? I see those two listed as "MINI MONO RAID CABLE DELL R740 8/16 BAY POWEREDGE SERVER" and what I was about to buy before your answer.
Is the interposer card (Dell P/N 04M4C or similar) needed for the HBA330 mini on the R740? Or just the HBA330 mini and the cable are all that is needed? My HBA330 mini did not include the interposer card, if needed.

Thanks for your help so far @DELL-Joey C !
