HPE P75758-B21 | ProLiant DL340 Gen12 8SFF Secondary Front OCP Cable Kit

Q: Which server is the P75758-B21 cable kit compatible with?
A: The P75758-B21 is designed exclusively for use with the HPE ProLiant Compute DL340 Gen12 server. It is not cross-compatible with other ProLiant generations or models.

Q: What does '8SFF Secondary Front OCP' mean in the context of this cable kit?
A: 8SFF refers to support for 8 Small Form Factor drive bays, and Secondary Front OCP indicates the kit connects those drive bays to the Secondary Front OCP (Open Compute Project) interface on the DL340 Gen12's modular front chassis. This is distinct from the primary front OCP cable kit and is used for expanded or secondary storage configurations.

Q: Can this cable kit be installed in the field, or does it need to be factory-installed?
A: The P75758-B21 supports both factory and field installation, making it suitable for upgrading or reconfiguring an existing DL340 Gen12 deployment without requiring the server to be returned to a service centre.

Q: Is this kit required for all DL340 Gen12 configurations, or only specific ones?
A: This cable kit is required when configuring the DL340 Gen12 with 8 SFF drive bays connected via the Secondary Front OCP interface. It is typically used in CTO (Configure to Order) server builds that require secondary front storage connectivity beyond the primary OCP connection.

Q: Can I purchase this HPE cable kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller with the P75758-B21 in stock and ready to ship. Orders placed through the site are dispatched promptly, with support available for volume or project-based purchases.

Q: Does this cable kit include any additional drives or OCP cards?
A: No. The P75758-B21 is a cable kit only. Drives and OCP network or storage cards are sold separately and must be compatible with the HPE ProLiant Compute DL340 Gen12 platform.
