About the 470-AFHO
The Dell 470-AFHO is a Dell PowerEdge R760 MCIO to PERC H965i Front RAID Controller Cable designed to route high-frequency storage signals across internal chassis channels. Built with precision-length conductors and custom right-angle hoods on the 470-AFHO, it provides dependable electrical signaling between internal controller ports and storage drive backplanes in Dell PowerEdge systems. The 470-AFHO assembly supports PCIe 4.0 / SAS4 transfer rates under dense airflow constraints.
Compatibility
Engineered specifically for Dell PowerEdge R760, R660 server chassis, the 470-AFHO routes directly between motherboard or controller headers and the hot-plug drive backplane. The 470-AFHO features dedicated connector keying and cable lengths tailored to internal chassis airflow ducting, preventing cable pinching during fan or riser service operations.
How to identify a genuine unit
Authentic Dell 470-AFHO internal cables feature a wrapped parts tag displaying DP/N 02W56Y, internal assembly numbering, and Dell labeling. Connectors on the 470-AFHO feature molded latching clips that lock securely into internal motherboard and backplane headers, preventing dislodgement from system vibration.
Buying used
When inspecting a pre-owned 470-AFHO internal cable, check the fine ribbon conductors for sharp creases, tears, or pinching caused during maintenance. Confirm that locking tabs on both connector ends of the 470-AFHO are flexible and unbroken. Verify in controller diagnostics that all connected 470-AFHO drive channels establish link without signal degradation.
