Need PCI-X SAS external Tape connectivity solution but can't find right cable
Having searched the forums I found a thread stating the following:
"The HP supported option is the 347786-B21 PCI-X HBA which is an internal only HBA, then you have to use a special internal to external cable: AE468A"
So, I purchased these parts but the cable turns out to be a standard *external* cable rather than internal-to-external (despite every search for the part revealing a totally different picture of it which *looks* potentially internal-to-external!).
So, does such a lead actually exist?
Any pointers very much appreciated!

I don't recall ever seeing this part on the HP site though.

You really need a PCIe bus and HBA inorder to make sure the drive gets a constant stream of data.
If you have to keep the DL380G4 you might have to look at a 3rd part cable solution, like this http://www.tmcscsi.com/SASextint.shtml#SASCABLES

It may even damage the motherboard and/or expansion cards.
