AB338A is the HP internal Smart Array cable for the rx7620 and rx8620 servers. HP matches it to two cable spares: A7027-63001, an internal Smart Array cable, and A7027-63003, an internal Smart Array RAID cable.
The same internal RAID cables come with the factory-built Smart Array options. On the rx7620, AB362A carries an SA6402 Smart Array card with internal RAID cables, and AB363A carries an SA6404 card with them; on the rx8620, AB360A carries an SA5302 and AB361A an SA5304. With any of those, the separate A9890A or A9891A (rx7620) or A9825A or A9826A (rx8620) card and AB338A cables are not needed. One AB362A or AB363A is the limit per rx7620 partition, and one combination of AB360A and AB361A per rx8620 partition.
AB362A with #0D1 supplies an SA6402 Smart Array card cabled and configured for RAID 1 mirroring in the factory, and AB363A with #0D1 does the same with an SA6404 card; two identical disks are needed in the hard partition. For external storage on the rx7620 the supported add-in Smart Array cards are A9890A (SA6402) and A9891A (SA6404), and on the rx8620 A9890A is the recommended card, with A9825A and A9826A also supported. Ordered with #0D1, these add-in cards are not connected to the internal disks.
