Purpose-built for PowerEdge R340
This cable set links the onboard or PERC S140 RAID controller to the 4x3.5" hot-swap backplane inside a Dell PowerEdge R340 server. It ships as a lot of four genuine Dell VTP09 cables, each terminated with a Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) connector. The parts are new and intended for IT teams maintaining or populating this specific 340 chassis.
Handles four 3.5" SAS or SATA drives
Each cable carries one drive channel, so the set supports the full complement of four 3.5" bays. The SAS/SATA backplane interface means both drive types are electrically compatible, but the cable does not add extra ports beyond the four provided. Builds needing more than four drives or a different backplane layout will require a different cable kit.
OEM-length routing with Mini SAS HD ends
The black cables are cut to the exact length Dell specifies for the R340, so they fit the chassis routing channels without slack or tension. Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) connectors lock securely to the controller and backplane, surviving repeated hot-swap cycles. No adapters or converters are included; the connectors mate directly to the PERC S140 and the 3.5" backplane sockets.

Questions about this item
Will the Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) cables connect my existing PERC S140 controller to the 4x3.5" backplane in a PowerEdge R340?
Yes, the four VTP09 cables are built to link the PERC S140 RAID controller directly to the 4x3.5" hot-swap backplane in the PowerEdge R340 chassis.
How can I verify the SAS cables are seated correctly after installation?
Each Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) connector clicks into the controller and backplane ports; the server BIOS and PERC S140 firmware will then list all attached 3.5" SAS or SATA drives.
Does the VTP09 lot of four include every cable needed, or must I buy brackets or screws separately?
The set supplies the four Mini SAS HD (SFF-8643) cables required for the 4x3.5" backplane; mounting hardware for drives or the backplane itself is not included.
