00D2814 IBM SAS 680R Cable, System x3300 M4 (7382)

00D2814 is the SAS 680R cable in the IBM System x3300 M4, machine type 7382. IBM's service parts for this server place it among the cables beside the SATA cable (00D9030), the 700 mm SAS cable (00D2817), the backplane signal Y cable for 2.5-inch hot-swap drives (00D2818), the power SMBUS cable (00D4254), the power converter cable (81Y7537) and the BP power 14 to 16 cable (00W2348).

SAS cables in the x3300 M4 link the SAS RAID controller to the hard drive backplane. A 2.5-inch system uses two internal SAS cables for the controller and the backplane, with one type of backplane for eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drives and two backplane types for sixteen. A 3.5-inch system needs two internal SAS cables, with the required backplane, to support eight 3.5-inch hot-swap drives.

IBM's service parts for the x3300 M4 also include the 2.5-inch hot-swap backplane (94Y7751), the expander backplane for 2.5-inch hot-swap drives (90Y5875), the 3.5-inch hot-swap backplane (49Y4462), and the ServeRAID H1110 (81Y4494), M5110 (90Y4449) and M5120 (81Y4479) adapters.

The x3300 M4 is a 4U tower that also mounts in a rack, with up to two Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processors. Drive options are four 3.5-inch hot-swap or simple-swap SATA drives as standard, expandable to eight, or eight 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA drives, expandable to sixteen.
