Description

The HPE ProLiant DL3X5 Gen11 PCIe Cable Kit (P70406-B21) is a storage enablement accessory purpose-built for single-processor GPU CTO server configurations on the DL3X5 Gen11 platform. It connects 8 SFF U.3 drives via x4 PCIe bandwidth per drive to compatible PCIe storage controllers, supporting SAS, SATA, and NVMe drive types simultaneously through Tri-Mode connectivity — making it ideal for AI/ML inference workloads and data-intensive GPU server deployments.

Designed to pair with the HPE GPU 8SFF U.3 FIO Backplane Kit (P57867-B21), this factory-integrated-only (FIO) option ensures validated, HPE-qualified cabling within GPU CTO configurations. It supports both 8SFF and EDSFF backplane form factors, delivering flexible and high-bandwidth storage architecture for GPU-optimised ProLiant environments. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: What server is the HPE P70406-B21 PCIe Cable Kit compatible with?
A: The P70406-B21 is designed exclusively for use with HPE ProLiant DL3X5 Gen11 GPU CTO servers in a single-processor (1P) configuration. It is not intended for dual-processor or non-GPU CTO variants of the DL3X5 platform.

Q: What drive types does this cable kit support?
A: This kit supports U.3 SFF drives using Tri-Mode PCIe connectivity, which allows SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives to be used simultaneously. It accommodates up to 8 SFF drives and is compatible with both 8SFF and EDSFF backplane configurations.

Q: What backplane kit should I pair with P70406-B21?
A: HPE recommends pairing this cable kit with the HPE GPU 8SFF U.3 FIO Backplane Kit (P57867-B21) to achieve a validated, optimised storage configuration within a DL3X5 Gen11 GPU CTO server.

Q: Can this cable kit be installed in the field after purchase?
A: No. The P70406-B21 is a Factory Integrated Only (FIO) option, meaning it must be specified and installed during the server build process at the factory. Field installation is not supported by HPE for this component.

Q: What workloads benefit from this cable kit?
A: This kit is designed for GPU-optimised server deployments running AI/ML inference, data analytics, and other data-intensive workloads that require high-bandwidth, flexible storage access alongside GPU resources.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE cable kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading stocks HPE ProLiant accessories and server components including the P70406-B21 for Australian businesses. Visit iptrading.com.au for competitive pricing and local pre-sales support.
