HPE P76505-B21 | DL360 Gen12 4EDSFF x4 Signal Direct Attach Cable Kit, CPU1 Box 5

Q: Which server is this cable kit designed for?
A: This cable kit is designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12 server. It is not compatible with earlier DL360 generations such as Gen10 or Gen11.

Q: What does 'CPU1, Box 5' mean for this cable kit?
A: CPU1 refers to the first processor socket on the DL360 Gen12 motherboard. Box 5 identifies the specific EDSFF NVMe backplane location within the server chassis that this cable connects to. If you need connectivity for a different box location or CPU, you will require a different cable kit SKU from the same family.

Q: How many NVMe drives does this cable kit support?
A: This cable kit supports a 4-bay EDSFF (E3.S) NVMe backplane at Box 5, enabling up to 4 E3.S NVMe drives to connect directly to CPU1 via PCIe 5.0 x4 per drive.

Q: Can this cable kit be used for a field upgrade rather than a factory build?
A: Yes. This HPE-validated cable kit is designed for both new factory builds and field upgrade installations, making it suitable for customers expanding EDSFF NVMe storage capacity in an existing DL360 Gen12 deployment.

Q: Is this cable kit available for purchase in Australia?
A: Yes. P76505-B21 is available to order from iptrading.com.au, with fast shipping and expert pre- and post-sales support available across Australia for B2B and enterprise customers.

Q: Are there other box-specific cable kits available for the DL360 Gen12?
A: Yes. HPE offers a complete family of signal direct attach cable kits for Box 1 through Box 5 to support flexible EDSFF storage configurations across the DL360 Gen12. Contact the iptrading.com.au team to identify the correct kit for your specific storage layout.
