Description

The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 NS204i-u Front Enablement Kit (P55549-B21) allows you to install the HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimised Storage Device in the front position of the DL560 Gen11 server — mounted between the fan cage and storage box — without consuming a PCIe riser slot. This kit is the purpose-built solution for organisations looking to maximise PCIe slot availability while maintaining a dedicated, high-availability boot device with automatic RAID 1 mirroring across two M.2 NVMe SSDs.

Designed for seamless integration with the Gen11 platform, this enablement kit supports hot plug operation and requires no complex configuration, making it ideal for data centre environments where uptime and efficient resource utilisation are critical. The NS204i-u boot device (sold separately) provides two 480 GB M.2 NVMe SSDs with built-in RAID 1 for OS mirroring.

FAQs

Q: What does the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 NS204i-u Front Enablement Kit do?
A: It allows the HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimised Storage Device to be installed in the front position of the DL560 Gen11 server — specifically between the fan cage and storage box — without requiring a PCIe riser slot.

Q: Is the NS204i-u storage device included with P55549-B21?
A: No. This kit is the enablement/mounting kit only. The HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimised Storage Device (and its two 480 GB M.2 NVMe SSDs) must be purchased separately.

Q: Will this kit work with servers other than the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11?
A: No. P55549-B21 is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen11 server. It is not compatible with other ProLiant models or previous generations.

Q: Does using this kit affect the PCIe slot availability on my DL560 Gen11?
A: No — that is one of its key advantages. By mounting the NS204i-u in the front position using this kit, the boot device does not consume any PCIe riser slot, leaving all slots available for other expansion cards.

Q: Does the NS204i-u support RAID when installed with this kit?
A: Yes. The NS204i-u automatically creates a RAID 1 volume across its two M.2 NVMe SSDs, providing OS mirroring and boot drive redundancy without requiring additional RAID controllers.

Q: Can I purchase P55549-B21 in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking HPE server accessories including enablement kits. Contact the team for pricing, lead times, and expert pre-sales support.
