Genuine Dell SAS cable assembly

The GH897 is a genuine Dell OEM internal SAS cable assembly designed to connect SAS storage devices inside compatible Dell systems. It serves as a direct replacement for the original factory cable when that part is damaged or missing. The assembly carries Dell part numbers GH897, 0GH897 and CN-0GH897 for exact identification.

Replacing a failed internal SAS link

This cable replaces a worn, frayed or disconnected internal SAS assembly that prevents drive detection or causes intermittent errors. The upgrade is worth it when the existing cable shows physical damage, when a storage controller reports link errors, or when a drive bay is being repopulated and the original cable cannot be reused. No other interface or protocol is involved.

Fitting into a Dell storage build

The assembly plugs between a Dell RAID controller or motherboard SAS port and the backplane or drive carrier in supported Dell chassis. It frees up the storage bay for a working SAS drive by restoring the data path without adapter brackets or converter boards. Compatibility is limited to Dell systems that list GH897 as the correct service part.

Questions about this item

What physical space is needed to route the GH897 cable inside a Dell chassis?

The cable is designed for internal Dell drive bays and backplanes; route it through existing cable channels so the SAS connectors seat without strain on the latch tabs.

How is the GH897 installed and which step is often missed?

Power down the system, connect each end to the matching SAS ports on the controller and backplane, then verify both latch tabs click — the click is the step many skip.

When should the GH897 be inspected or replaced?

Check the cable during any drive-bay service; replace it if the latch tabs no longer hold, the sheath shows kinks, or SAS errors appear in the controller log.
