Description

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 12EDSFF Drive Cage Kit (P48808-B21) is a high-density storage expansion option for the DL380 Gen11 2U rack server, adding up to 12 single-thickness EDSFF (E1.S) drive bays via direct attach NVMe.

FAQs

Q: What server is the HPE P48808-B21 drive cage kit compatible with?
A: The P48808-B21 is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 12EDSFF Configure-to-Order (CTO) server. It is not compatible with other server models or generations.

Q: Can this drive cage kit be installed in the field or purchased as a standalone upgrade?
A: No. The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 12EDSFF Drive Cage Kit (P48808-B21) is a Factory Install Only option. It must be selected at the time of ordering a CTO DL380 Gen11 server and cannot be retrofitted in the field.

Q: What type of drives does this cage support?
A: The cage supports up to 12 single-thickness EDSFF (E1.S) NVMe drives connected via direct attach. It does not support traditional SAS or SATA drives and is not compatible with HPE storage controllers.

Q: Are there any additional components required when selecting this drive cage kit?
A: Yes. When the EDSFF Bundle is selected, you must also include the HPE DL380 Gen11 12EDSFF CPU1/2 Cable Kit, one HPE High Performance Fan Kit (P48820-B21), and a second processor. The Tertiary Riser option cannot be configured at the same time.

Q: Can I purchase this drive cage kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) stocks HPE server accessories including the P48808-B21, and can assist with CTO server configurations. Contact the team for guidance on ensuring correct component selection for your DL380 Gen11 build.

Q: Why would I choose EDSFF (E1.S) drives over traditional SFF drives in a DL380 Gen11?
A: EDSFF (E1.S) drives offer a superior density-to-performance ratio in a 2U chassis, enabling high-throughput NVMe storage with a smaller per-drive footprint. This makes them ideal for data-intensive workloads such as AI inference, analytics, and high-performance databases.
