Dell part number 0M251M is a 2.5-inch SAS backplane cable designed for PowerEdge R710 servers. This cable connects the system backplane to storage drive bays, supporting SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) data transfer between the server motherboard and hot-swap drive trays. The 2.5-inch form factor indicates compatibility with small-form-factor hard drives or SSDs typically found in dense storage configurations. The R710 commonly runs two to six of these cables depending on the specific drive bay configuration and storage expansion modules installed.
This backplane cable is essential for proper drive detection and operation in R710 deployments supporting database servers, virtualization hosts, and general-purpose enterprise workloads. Refurbished units have been tested and guaranteed to function to OEM specifications. Available via quote.
