HPE 498425-001 DL370/380 G7 MiniSAS Cable

The description below focuses on the verified HPE spare identity, physical specification and practical service use.

HPE 498425-001 is the service-spare identity for a straight Mini-SAS cable assembly measuring 711 mm, or 28 inches. HPE PartSurfer provides that physical description, while parts references connect the spare with assembly number 493228-005. It appears across selected ProLiant, Smart Array and HPE storage configurations, making it a useful maintenance reference when an internal SAS connection needs to be restored. The important distinction on this page is the spare number itself: 498425-001 is the number a technician may encounter in HPE service information even when the cable assembly carries 493228-005.

Why Service Spare 498425-001 Matters

Server maintenance often starts from documentation rather than from a loose component. If a service list specifies 498425-001, the technician needs to know what that number represents physically. In this case it is a 28-inch straight Mini-SAS-to-Mini-SAS internal cable. That description separates it from external SAS leads, breakout cables and shorter internal assemblies.

Manufacturer-Backed Specifications

Using the Spare in a Server Refurbishment

A refurbished server can arrive without every original internal cable. Backplanes and controllers are frequently removed during parts recovery, and their associated data cables can disappear with them. A documented spare such as 498425-001 allows the storage path to be rebuilt with a cable of the intended type and length.

The 711 mm specification also matters for routing. A cable that is much shorter may not reach the intended connection, while excessive length can be difficult to manage around fans and risers. Using the matching HPE assembly keeps the internal route closer to the original configuration.

498425-001 Versus Similar HPE Cables

The HPE 493228-005 product is directly related because it represents the assembly-number identity of this cable family. By contrast, HPE 493228-002 is a shorter DL360 G6/G7 Mini-SAS cable and should be treated as a separate part.

The HPE 407339-B21 External Mini-SAS Cable serves connections outside compatible storage hardware, while HPE 406596-001 is an internal StorageWorks tape-enclosure cable with a different connector arrangement. For desktop and workstation drives, the HPE 611894-002 SATA cable uses Serial ATA rather than Mini-SAS.

Keeping Spare and Assembly Records Together

Organisations maintaining older HPE estates can benefit from recording both 498425-001 and 493228-005 in their internal parts database. That makes it easier to recognise stock regardless of which number is visible on packaging, service documentation or the cable itself. It also reduces the risk of ordering another Mini-SAS lead that looks similar but has a different route or application.

New and Refurbished HPE 498425-001

New stock can suit planned repairs where unused service components are preferred. Refurbished 498425-001 assemblies are a practical option for G6/G7-era systems already operating successfully with the same cable family. Both can support continued use of enterprise hardware without replacing the wider server simply because one internal connection is unavailable.

Order HPE 498425-001 from Euroland IT Store

Euroland IT Store can help you source HPE 498425-001 for a matching internal Mini-SAS requirement. If your existing component shows assembly number 493228-005 instead, the team can use the relationship between the two references to help identify the appropriate spare.

Useful When Working from HPE Service Documentation

Technicians often begin a repair with a spare number from a maintenance guide rather than an assembly number printed on a cable. That is where 498425-001 is particularly useful. It gives the service identity for the 28-inch Mini-SAS assembly and can be recorded alongside the server model, controller and backplane information. For organisations maintaining older HPE estates, this kind of accurate parts mapping reduces time spent comparing visually similar internal cables and supports more consistent repairs across multiple systems.

A Defined Length for a Defined Internal Route

The 711 mm measurement is more than a catalogue detail. It reflects the reach required by supported internal layouts. Matching that length can keep the cable routed around chassis components without excessive slack and makes later servicing easier because the system remains closer to its documented arrangement.
