We purchased the HP Smart Array P440 to upgrade from the current b140i RAID controller. Since the P440 requires a built-in x8 mini-sas double-width connector, we Ordered the HP SAS cable for P440 (P/N: 725593-b21), as listed in the quickspecs document.
After waiting for the cable for three weeks, we plug it into the server, internal x8 mini-sas The double-wide connector is suitable for RAID controllers. However, the other side of the cable is not suitable, because there is no back panel, we can plug the other end into the mini sas plug.
Maybe it will be easier to explain with pictures:< /p>
The current cable of B140i is as follows

I’m just not sure, because a simple Google search provided it with various pictures, and parturfer did not have pictures related to it.. I found a picture that looks like Your old cable, but I can’t double check my answer

We purchased HP Smart Array P440 to control from the current b140i RAID Upgrade. Due to P440 requires a built-in x8 mini-sas double-wide connector. We ordered an HP SAS cable (P/N: 725593-b21) suitable for P440, as listed in the quickspecs document.
Wait three weeks for the cable After that, we plug it into the server, and the internal x8 mini-sas double-wide connector fits the RAID controller. However, the other side of the cable does not fit because there is no backplane, we can plug the other end into the mini-sas plug.
