Cable for T320 8x3.5 to Perc H710

I have a T320 with the 8x3.5 hot-swappable backplane for SAS drives. I ordered a Perc H710 (p/n 342-4203) to replace the H310. The existing SAS cable has the wrong connectors for the H710.

I chatted with Dell this morning and they told me that I needed Dell Part# cy7n1. I ordered this. However, after ordering I searched online and the pictures seem to show a cable with only a single connector at each end.

What is the correct cable that I need?

Thanks.

    Hello

    CY7N1 is a cable to connect to a 4HDD backplane. The 8HDD backplane cable is DJXF7.

    Thanks

    That's right the existing cable should be good.

    What OS are you running?

    I also plan to change the H310 to H710P. The Dell support page shows for my T320 server current config, that it contains a DJXF7 cable. Is it mean, that I need not change tha cable and the same cable good for H310 and H710? I have 8x 3.5 (hot swap) backplane.
