HP ML350 Gen10 8-Pin to 8-Pin SAS HDD Backplane Power Cable for 8x SFF Expansion Cage, 45 cm (879163-001)

When adding an 8-bay SFF expansion cage to an HP ProLiant ML350 Gen10 server, the backplane needs a dedicated power feed — and the standard PSU cables don't reach or fit. This 45 cm cable bridges the gap between the server's power distribution and the SAS HDD backplane, using an 8-pin connector on both ends.

Who is it for

Server technicians and system integrators who are installing or replacing the 8x SFF drive cage in an ML350 Gen10. It is the exact part HP specifies for that job, so it clicks in without adapters or pin swaps.

Tips

Check the orientation of the 8-pin connectors before seating them; although the cable is keyed, a firm push is sometimes needed on new backplanes. Keep the old cable for comparison if you are troubleshooting intermittent drive detection.
