✅ Confirmed Compatibility
Compatibility requires an installed Smart Array P400 or supported P400i controller, a compatible BBWC cache module and a battery location that uses the 11.5-inch cable. Some configurations of the same system require the longer 24-inch cable.

⚙️ Fit Notes
- Confirm that the original cable is marked 408658-001 or 409124-001.
- Verify the required cable length before ordering. 408658-002 / 409125-001 is the 24-inch version and is not the same physical-length replacement.
- Controller compatibility alone does not determine cable fit. Battery mounting location and chassis routing determine whether the 11.5-inch or 24-inch cable is required.
- This is a battery-to-cache cable and does not replace the SAS drive data cable.
- Use only with the appropriate 4.8V Ni-MH battery pack and compatible BBWC cache module.
- Power down the system and disconnect external power before replacing the cable or battery.
- A failed or missing battery may cause the controller to disable write-back cache even when the cable is functioning correctly.
