HPE P75747-B21 | ProLiant DL340 Gen12 16SFF x4 Direct Attach Front OCP Cable Kit

Q: Which server is this cable kit designed for?
A: This cable kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL340 Gen12 server in its 16 SFF (Small Form Factor) configure-to-order (CTO) chassis configuration. It is not compatible with other HPE ProLiant generations or chassis form factors.

Q: What does 'x4 Direct Attach' mean in the context of this cable kit?
A: x4 Direct Attach refers to a four-lane PCIe/SAS signal connection between the drive backplane and the storage controller or OCP adapter. This provides higher bandwidth per connection compared to x1 or x2 variants, supporting faster storage throughput for demanding workloads.

Q: What is the Front OCP routing used for?
A: Front OCP routing directs the storage cables to the server's front OCP (Open Compute Project) slot, enabling the use of an OCP-based storage or HBA adapter at the front of the chassis. This simplifies cable runs and supports modular, flexible storage configurations.

Q: Which drive interfaces are supported with this cable kit?
A: When paired with a compatible HPE Gen12 storage controller, this cable kit supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives across all 16 SFF bays in the DL340 Gen12.

Q: Are there other cable kit variants available for the DL340 Gen12?
A: Yes. HPE offers a broad family of DL340 Gen12 cable kits with x1, x2, and x4 direct attach options across 8, 16, and 24 SFF and EDSFF drive bay configurations. Contact iptrading.com.au to find the right variant for your storage topology.
