HPE 716191-B21 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The HPE 716191-B21 is a 2-meter external SAS cable designed to connect servers or storage arrays to external disk shelves or other SAS devices. This cable is essential for establishing high-speed data pathways in environments requiring direct-attached storage expansion or server-to-server SAS connectivity. It ensures reliable data transfer for critical applications where storage performance and availability are paramount.

Compatibility

This cable is engineered for use with HPE ProLiant servers and storage systems that utilize SFF-8644 external SAS connectors. It specifically connects to devices featuring the SFF-8088 external SAS connector. Verify your server's external SAS port type (SFF-8644) and the external SAS port type on your storage enclosure or HBA (SFF-8088) to ensure compatibility.

Installation Notes

Ensure the SAS controllers and target devices are powered down before connecting or disconnecting the cable. The connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. Apply gentle, even pressure when seating the connectors into their respective ports. Avoid excessive force. The 2-meter length provides flexibility for rack-mounted or near-rack deployments.
