Purpose-built SAS cable for Dell PowerEdge R340

This 46 cm SAS RAID cable connects the eight-bay 2.5" backplane to the RAID controller in a Dell PowerEdge R340 server. It carries data between the controller and up to eight SAS drives, enabling RAID configurations that improve storage reliability. The part number VXP83 identifies the exact fit for this server model.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The cable itself is passive and adds no heat, noise or measurable power draw to the system. It simply routes signals between the backplane SFF-8087 connectors and the RAID card, so thermal and acoustic behaviour depends entirely on the drives and controller it serves.

What the bundled items change

No additional accessories or software are included with this cable. Installation is a direct replacement: remove the old cable and seat the VXP83 between the backplane and controller to restore full SAS connectivity for the eight drive bays.

Questions about this item

How do I route the 46 cm SAS cable from the 8087 ports on the RAID controller to the backplane in the PowerEdge R340?

Connect each SFF-8087 end to the matching controller and backplane ports, then secure the latch clips; the short 46 cm length requires careful dressing so the cable does not block airflow or interfere with drive caddies.

What maintenance does the VXP83 SAS cable need during the server's life?

No scheduled maintenance is required; inspect the connectors for dust or bent pins only when the chassis is open for drive replacement, and reseat the latches if a drive bay reports link errors.

What is the first limit that appears when the cable runs at full SAS throughput continuously?

The 46 cm fixed length is the primary constraint; it restricts controller placement and offers no slack for re-routing, so thermal stress on the connectors becomes the limiting factor under sustained load.
