Mini SAS HD to 4×SATA cable HP Enterprise P0002287-001, 50 cm

The Mini SAS HD to 4×SATA cable HP Enterprise P0002287-001, 50 cm provides a compact internal connection between a Mini SAS HD host port and up to four SATA drives. Intended for server and storage environments, this cable carries standard SAS/SATA signals and is suited for use in rackmount systems, tower servers and workstations where physical space and cable routing are factors. The 50 cm length offers a balance between reach and neat cable management inside chassis.

Advantages

This HP Enterprise cable converts a single Mini SAS HD interface into four separate SATA connections without altering the underlying SAS/SATA signaling, enabling straightforward attachment of multiple drives. The 50 cm length reduces excess slack, helping to maintain airflow and tidy internal layouts. The cable is designed to match common server and storage hardware connector types to simplify installation and replacement tasks.

Suitable for

• Connecting a Mini SAS HD controller or backplane to up to four SATA hard drives or SSDs
• Internal cable replacement in rackmount servers, tower servers or workstations
• Expanding storage capacity by adding SATA drives to systems with a Mini SAS HD port
• Laboratory or test bench setups where compact, short-length internal cabling is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Mini SAS HD to 4×SATA
• Length: 50 cm
• Supported signals: standard SAS/SATA signaling compatibility
• Connector layout: one Mini SAS HD plug to four SATA plugs
• Intended application: internal server and workstation drive connections

How to use

Power down the system and disconnect power before installing the cable. Locate the Mini SAS HD host or backplane port and align the mini SAS HD connector with the port, then press gently until it seats. Route the cable inside the chassis to maintain airflow and avoid sharp bends, and attach each SATA connector to the corresponding drive’s SATA data port. Reconnect power and verify drive detection in firmware or operating system storage utilities. If replacing an existing cable, note the original routing to preserve airflow and drive access.

Recommendations

Ensure firmware and controller settings support multiple SATA devices on the Mini SAS HD port and use proper drive mounting and cable routing to avoid obstructing fans or other components. For systems with mixed SAS and SATA devices, verify compatibility with the host controller and backplane documentation before installation.
