Yes, you will need new cables. I also started with a perc6i and the existing cables didn't fit my h200 - it has a different connector. I got a lot of info from this youtube video: https://youtu.be/Lj_FfdPfYM4. The guy has a ton of other helpful videos and even sells the preflashed cards (though, you do pay a premium over doing it yourself).
I had a hard time finding the exact cables I needed (the youtube video mentions what you need). I ended up with a pair that are a bit longer than needed and I just hid the extra slack in the case. It ended up pretty fine and saved me some money/time trying to find the exact cable. Here is what I got off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CKXFKHT/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_uQXSDbRECY2G1
I put a lsi 9201-8i in mine. With a pair of right angle sas cables from Amazon.

No need to change the backplane. Make sure you get the RIGHT angle ones. Not the left angle.

These are the ones I bought. They work for the H700 and H310.
Yep, forgot to mention that. You need those internal mini-sas cables. You can get them on Amazon. Something like this is perfect and I know for a fact this exact one will fit in terms of length. You will want a right angle bend on one side.
Btw, you can flash the H200/H310 RAID cards to IT mode, which makes it act as an HBA card (allowing you to pass each disk individually allowing you to do software RAID like ZFS).
