FAQs

Q: What is the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U Tri-Mode Premium Cable Kit used for?
A: This cable kit enables Tri-Mode storage connectivity — supporting SAS, SATA, and NVMe U.3 drives simultaneously — within the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U server chassis. It is required when deploying Tri-Mode storage controllers and compatible drive cages in Gen11 configurations.

Q: Which server is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This kit is designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U server. It is part of the HPE Gen11 server ecosystem and is not recommended for use with previous generations such as Gen10 or Gen10 Plus.

Q: Do I need this cable kit when adding a Tri-Mode drive cage to my DL380 Gen11?
A: Yes. When adding Tri-Mode drive cages (such as the 8SFF U.3 x4/x2 or 8SFF U.3 x1 Trimode options) to the DL380 Gen11, this premium cable kit is typically required to complete the internal cabling between the controller and drive cage.

Q: What storage protocols does Tri-Mode support?
A: Tri-Mode supports three storage protocols in a single interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), SATA (Serial ATA), and NVMe U.3. This flexibility allows administrators to mix drive types in a single backplane for optimised performance and capacity configurations.

A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller offering HPE server accessories including the P48831-B21 cable kit. Contact the team for pricing, availability, and volume purchasing options.

Q: Is any software or licensing required to use this cable kit?
A: No. This is a purely physical hardware accessory — no software installation or licensing is required. However, ensure your DL380 Gen11 is configured with a compatible HPE Tri-Mode storage controller to make full use of the SAS/SATA/NVMe U.3 connectivity.
