FAQs

Q: Which server is this backplane kit compatible with?
A: The P71421-B21 backplane kit is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 1U server. It is not intended for use with other ProLiant server generations or models.

Q: Does this kit support SATA drives as well as NVMe drives?
A: The backplane is primarily designed for NVMe U.2 drives. SATA SFF drives can be supported, but only when an appropriate storage controller is installed in the server.

Q: Are the drive bays hot-swappable?
A: Yes, all eight SFF drive bays are hot-swappable, allowing you to add or replace NVMe U.2 drives without powering down the server — minimising downtime in production environments.

Q: Are there any additional components required when installing high-performance NVMe drives?
A: Yes. HPE notes that a High-Performance Fan Kit may be required when the backplane is populated with High-Performance NVMe drives to maintain adequate cooling within the 1U chassis.

Q: What workloads is this backplane kit suited for?
A: The x4 NVMe U.2 direct-attach backplane is optimised for high-throughput, low-latency workloads including virtualisation, relational and in-memory databases, data analytics, and other data-intensive enterprise applications.

Q: Can I purchase this kit in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) stocks HPE ProLiant server accessories including the P71421-B21 backplane kit, with fast shipping and expert support available across Australia.
