Description

The HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 Storage Backplane Kit delivers 8 Small Form Factor (2.5") drive bays with x4 NVMe U.3 connectivity, purpose-built for the DL320 Gen12 1U server platform. Engineered for high-performance NVMe direct-attach storage deployments, this kit supports hot-plug drive replacement to minimise downtime and enables maximum per-bay throughput via PCIe x4 lanes per port — making it an ideal upgrade for data-intensive workloads in space-constrained environments.

The backplane integrates seamlessly with the DL320 Gen12 chassis, aligning with HPE Gen12 mechanical, electrical, and airflow standards. SATA SFF drives are also supported when paired with a compatible storage controller, offering configuration flexibility. Available as a Configure-to-Order (CTO) option, this kit is suited for enterprises looking to maximise storage density in a 1U footprint.

FAQs

Q: Which server is this backplane kit compatible with?
A: The P75085-B21 is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL320 Gen12 server. It is not compatible with earlier Gen10/Gen11 platforms or other ProLiant models.

Q: Does this backplane support hot-plug drive replacement?
A: Yes. All 8 SFF bays support hot-plug functionality, allowing drives to be replaced without powering down the server — minimising operational downtime in production environments.

Q: Can I use SATA drives with this backplane?
A: Yes, SATA SFF drives are supported when used with a compatible HPE storage controller. NVMe U.3 direct-attach operation requires available PCIe lanes from the host system.

Q: What does x4 NVMe U.3 mean and why does it matter?
A: x4 NVMe U.3 means each drive bay connects via four PCIe lanes using the U.3 multi-protocol interface, delivering full NVMe bandwidth per bay. This results in significantly higher throughput and lower latency compared to SATA or SAS backplanes, ideal for demanding storage workloads.

Q: Is this available as a configure-to-order (CTO) option?
A: Yes, the P75085-B21 is offered as a CTO backplane option for SFF DL320 Gen12 server configurations, allowing it to be specified at time of order through HPE or authorised resellers like IP Trading.

Q: Can I purchase this backplane kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist and can supply the HPE P75085-B21 backplane kit. Contact the team for pricing, availability, and compatibility advice tailored to your DL320 Gen12 deployment.
