Description

The HPE ProLiant DL3X5 Gen11 16EDSFF x2 PCIe Tri-Mode Cable Kit is a purpose-built storage cabling solution for HPE ProLiant DL345, DL365, and DL385 Gen11 rack servers, enabling all 16 EDSFF (E3.S) NVMe drive bays to connect to a Tri-Mode storage controller seated at the primary riser slot. Each drive receives a dedicated PCIe x2 connection, supporting SAS, SATA, and NVMe simultaneously through a compatible Tri-Mode controller — giving IT teams maximum storage flexibility in a high-density Gen11 deployment.

This cable kit is an essential component for builds or upgrades that leverage EDSFF E3.S 1T form-factor drives in DL3X5 Gen11 platforms, ensuring full backplane utilisation without compromising controller compatibility. It is designed and validated by HPE for seamless integration within the ProLiant ecosystem. Need it fast? iptrading.com.au delivers across Australia — shop now.

FAQs

Q: Which HPE servers is the P69878-B21 cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit is designed for the HPE ProLiant DL3X5 Gen11 server family, specifically the DL345 Gen11, DL365 Gen11, and DL385 Gen11. It is not intended for use in earlier Gen10 or Gen10 Plus platforms.

Q: What type of drives does this cable kit support?
A: The kit supports 16 x EDSFF (E3.S) NVMe drives in the E3.S 1T form factor. It connects these drives to a Tri-Mode storage controller, enabling support for SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives depending on the controller and drive installed.

Q: What PCIe speed does each drive get with this cable kit?
A: Each EDSFF drive receives a PCIe x2 connection to the storage controller. While this is not the full PCIe x4 used in some configurations, it allows all 16 bays to be served simultaneously from a single primary riser-mounted Tri-Mode controller.

Q: Do I need a specific storage controller to use this cable kit?
A: Yes. This cable kit requires an HPE Tri-Mode storage controller (supporting SAS/SATA/NVMe) installed at the primary riser slot of your DL3X5 Gen11 server. Confirm controller compatibility with HPE's QuickSpecs before ordering.

Q: Can I purchase this cable kit from IP Trading in Australia?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller that stocks HPE ProLiant server accessories including the P69878-B21 cable kit. We ship across Australia — contact us for bulk pricing or lead time inquiries.

Q: Is this cable kit required for a new DL3X5 Gen11 server build with EDSFF drives?
A: If your DL3X5 Gen11 server is configured with 16 EDSFF drive bays and a primary riser Tri-Mode controller, this cable kit provides the necessary PCIe cabling to connect all drive bays. It may not be included by default depending on your server's base configuration — check the HPE QuickSpecs for your specific model.
