FAQs

Q: What server is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit (P57855-B21) is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 server. It is not interchangeable with other ProLiant generations or models.

Q: What does 'Box 1' mean in the context of this cable kit?
A: Box 1 refers to the primary front drive bay position in the HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 chassis. This kit enables x4 NVMe direct-attach connectivity specifically for the backplane installed in that position.

Q: Do I need a storage controller to use this cable kit?
A: No. This kit supports direct-attach NVMe connectivity, meaning NVMe drives connect directly to the CPU/platform without requiring a separate HBA or RAID controller for NVMe operation.

Q: Is this kit compatible with SAS and SATA drives as well?
A: Yes, when used with the x4 U.3 8SFF Tri-Mode backplane, this cable kit also supports SAS and SATA drives in addition to NVMe, providing flexible storage configuration options.

Q: Can I purchase this cable kit in Australia from IP Trading?

Q: Is this the only NVMe cable kit required for a DL385 Gen11 with multiple drive boxes?
A: No. This kit covers Box 1 only. If your DL385 Gen11 configuration includes additional drive bay positions (e.g. Box 2), separate cable kits are required for those positions. Check HPE's QuickSpecs for your specific build.
