  • ColorBlack
  • Connects four SATA drives to the motherboard or backplane

Dell PowerEdge R240 SATA cable

This Dell 2F8RD cable connects up to four SATA drives inside a PowerEdge R240 server. It is designed for systems that operate without a RAID card and provides direct data links to the motherboard or backplane. The black cable supports non-hot-swappable drive configurations.

Suited for non-RAID storage expansion

This part fits administrators expanding internal storage on an R240 where a RAID controller is not installed. It is not suitable for hot-swap drive bays or for systems that require RAID-managed arrays. Builders needing hot-plug capability or RAID connectivity should look at alternative cabling solutions.

1-to-4 SATA breakout design

The cable splits a single motherboard or backplane connector into four SATA data ports for multiple drives. This fixed 1-to-4 layout determines how many drives can be attached without a RAID card. Verify that your R240 chassis and drive cage match this non-hot-swappable topology before ordering.

Questions about this item

How many SATA drives can the 1-to-4 cable connect in a PowerEdge R240?

Does the 2F8RD cable add extra heat or noise when the server runs continuously?

It is a passive internal cable with no active components, so it generates no measurable heat or noise of its own during all-day operation.

What server hardware must already be present for this cable to function?

You need a Dell PowerEdge R240 system without a RAID card, using the onboard SATA controller or backplane that the cable plugs into.
