Description

The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 2SFF U.3 Drive Cage Kit expands internal storage capacity within the DL560 Gen11 server chassis, adding two Small Form Factor drive bays with U.3 interface support. Designed for flexible tri-mode operation, this cage kit accommodates NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives — making it ideal for enterprise environments that need scalable, high-performance storage configurations without sacrificing compatibility.

As part of HPE's modular drive cage ecosystem for the DL560 Gen11 platform, this kit must be paired with a compatible Cage Cable Kit (such as the P55320-B21 Tri-Mode Box 1/2 Cable Kit) for full connectivity. Note that mixing x1, x4 Tri-Mode, or EDSFF cage kits within the same system is not supported. Order direct from iptrading.com.au — Australian-owned and operated since 2001.

FAQs

Q: Which server is this drive cage kit compatible with?
A: The HPE P54801-B21 2SFF U.3 Drive Cage Kit is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 server. It is not validated for use with other ProLiant generations or models.

Q: What drive types can be installed in this cage kit?
A: This cage kit supports U.3 interface drives, which are tri-mode capable — meaning it can accommodate NVMe, SAS, and SATA Small Form Factor drives, depending on your controller and cabling configuration.

Q: Do I need any additional components to use this cage kit?
A: Yes. A compatible Cage Cable Kit is required for connectivity. HPE recommends pairing this unit with the P55320-B21 Tri-Mode Box 1/2 Cable Kit. Without the appropriate cable kit, the drives will not be connected to the server backplane or controller.

Q: Can I mix this cage kit with other drive cage types in the same DL560 Gen11 system?
A: No. HPE does not support mixing x1, x4 Tri-Mode, or EDSFF drive cage kits within the same DL560 Gen11 system. All installed cage kits must be of the same type to ensure compatibility and system stability.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE drive cage kit in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian-owned and operated IT hardware reseller, trading since 2001. You can order the HPE P54801-B21 directly through our website with local support and competitive pricing.

Q: Is this a tool-less installation, and does it include all mounting hardware?
A: The cage kit is designed to integrate with the DL560 Gen11 chassis as a factory-supported storage option. For full installation details including mounting hardware requirements, refer to the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 QuickSpecs or contact IP Trading for pre-sales technical guidance.
