PE2900 Upgrading PERC6i controller to H710 or something similar.

Hi all, 

I'm looking for some information regarding PE2900 and the PERC controller.  My box has a PERC 6i and of course it's got the 2 cables from it to the backplane of the 8 drive chassis. 

What I want to do is swap out the PERC 6i or at least move the drives off it on to something like a H710, for a couple of reasons.. 1, the controller perfomance change is fairly significant, and 2nd the PERC 6i won't see anything larger than a 2TB SATA drives and I'd like to put in some 4TB drives.  

The quetsion is does anyone know what cable I should be looking for as the H710 is a the newr SAS card connector rather than the older flat card edge connection on the PERC 6i. I think looking at the cables that a Gnf4h Poweredge T710 cable would work but I'd like to know for sure before I go buying cables.

Any help/information would be greatly appreciated.

Tks,

Dave
