Poweredge 1900 - Installing a PERC 5i with SATA disks

I recently bought a used PE1900 that didn't come with much actually :) A 2nd CPU, more RAM and a PERC 5i later though and it's looking much better.

The problem is the cables from the controller to the disks aren't long enough - I went for these:

What length cables do I need for this machine? Is there a part number/description I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance,

Part # NJ056 -- ASSEMBLY, CABLE, Serial ATA, SERIAL ATTACHED SCSI, X4-4

This looks identical to the cable that you have provided.

This is what is listed for the PE 1900 PERC controller cable.  What slot are you putting the PERC 5i card in?  The PERC integrated slot looks to be the slot closest to the fans.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
