Q: What server is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 server in four-processor (4P) configurations with air cooling. It is not compatible with liquid-cooled variants or other ProLiant server families.

Q: When do I need this cable kit?
A: You need this kit when installing an x4 NVMe drive cage in Box 1 of an air-cooled DL560 Gen11 without pre-installed drives. It provides the direct attach cabling required to connect the 8SFF NVMe cage to the server backplane.

Q: What is the difference between Box 1 and other box positions?
A: The DL560 Gen11 chassis supports multiple drive cage positions (boxes). This specific cable kit is for Box 1 — the first drive cage position. Separate cable kits are required for other box positions within the same server.

Q: Does this kit support both SAS and NVMe drives?
A: No. This kit is specifically designed for x4 NVMe direct attach connectivity only. It does not support SAS or SATA drives. Ensure your drive cage and drives are NVMe-compatible before ordering.

A: Yes. IPT Trading (iptrading.com.au) stocks HPE server accessories including this cable kit and ships across Australia. Contact us for availability, volume pricing, or to confirm compatibility with your existing DL560 Gen11 configuration.

Q: Do I need additional parts alongside this cable kit?
