What type of SCSI external connector on DL380 G2

[Ron Keplinger_1]

I am looking for some confirmation of the External SCSI connector on my new DL380 G2.

I think it to be a VHDCI type or that is the type of cable end I need.

My ultimate goal is to connect an External HP SureStore DLT 80 tape drive to the new DL380 for backups (actually to do the restore as it will be our new server)

so a bonus question/confirmation is what type of cable do I need. Is there a max length?

I am looking at a VHDCI to HD68 cable but wanted some confirmation before I go and order the $100+ cable

Thanks!
