Description

The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 Air Cooling 12EDSFF x4 Box 2 Direct Attach Cable Kit enables high-density NVMe storage connectivity in four-processor (4P) DL560 Gen11 server configurations. Designed for the Box 2 drive cage position — the starting storage box in 4P builds — this kit supports 12x E1.S (EDSFF) small form factor drives via x4 NVMe direct attach, delivering maximum storage density without a separate storage controller. Air-cooled only; cooling type cannot be changed post-configuration.

This cable kit is intended strictly for direct attach NVMe drives and is not compatible with Tri-mode storage controller drives in the same system. Additional storage capacity can be expanded by adding Box 3 and then Box 1 in supported 4P configurations. A factory-integrated equivalent (-F21 option) is available for configure-to-order (CTO) deployments. Order now at iptrading.com.au — trusted by Australian IT professionals.

- Box 2 is the required starting storage position in 4P builds, with Box 3 and Box 1 available for further expansion
- Supports 12x EDSFF (E1.S) small form factor drives for high-density NVMe storage

FAQs

Q: What server is the P55325-B21 cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 server in air-cooled, four-processor (4P) configurations. It is not intended for other ProLiant server models or different processor configurations.

Q: What does 'Box 2' mean in this context?
A: In 4P HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 builds, Box 2 is the starting drive cage position for storage expansion. Once Box 2 is populated, storage can be expanded by adding Box 3, followed by Box 1, in sequence.

Q: Can I use this cable kit with a Tri-mode storage controller?
A: No. This kit supports direct attach NVMe drives only. Mixing direct attach drives with Tri-mode storage controller drives in the same system is not supported by HPE.

Q: Can an air-cooled DL560 Gen11 be converted to liquid cooling later?
A: No. HPE's configuration guidelines state that air cooling cannot be upgraded to liquid cooling after the server has been configured. The cooling type must be selected at the time of initial build.

Q: What is the difference between the P55325-B21 and the -F21 SKU?
A: The P55325-B21 is an aftermarket add-on option for existing or field-built systems. The -F21 variant is the factory-integrated equivalent, ordered as part of a configure-to-order (CTO) build with integrated memory DIMMs included.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 cable kit in Australia?
A: Yes. The P55325-B21 is available through iptrading.com.au, a trusted Australian B2B IT hardware reseller. Contact our team for pricing, availability, and compatibility advice for your DL560 Gen11 deployment.
