Description

The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen12 Rear NS204i-u Boot Device Enablement Kit (P79031-B21) provides a dedicated mounting solution for installing the HPE NS204i-u NVMe hot-plug boot device in the rear position of the DL580 Gen12 server. Designed for enterprise deployments requiring flexible boot device placement, this kit allows administrators to configure OS boot redundancy via hardware RAID 1 without sacrificing valuable PCIe expansion slots.

This kit is purpose-built for the DL580 Gen12 platform and installs the NS204i-u in the rear Box4 area, leaving front drive bays and PCIe resources fully available for workload storage and I/O expansion. It supports integration with HPE iLO 7 management and HPE Compute Ops Management for centralised lifecycle oversight. The complementary front installation option (P78279-B21) is also available for deployments requiring alternative positioning. Available now at iptrading.com.au — competitive prices and local support.

FAQs

Q: What does the P79031-B21 enablement kit do?
A: It provides a tool-less mounting solution that allows the HPE NS204i-u NVMe hot-plug boot device to be installed in the rear (Box4) position of the HPE ProLiant Compute DL580 Gen12 server, enabling a dedicated OS boot device without using a PCIe slot.

Q: What is the difference between P79031-B21 and P78279-B21?
A: P79031-B21 supports rear installation of the NS204i-u boot device on the DL580 Gen12, while P78279-B21 is the front installation variant. Both serve the same function but differ in physical mounting position within the server chassis.

Q: Does this kit support boot redundancy?
A: Yes. When used with the HPE NS204i-u boot device, the kit supports hardware RAID 1 across dual NVMe drives, providing OS-level redundancy and improved resilience for mission-critical workloads.

Q: Will installing the rear kit impact PCIe slot availability or drive bay capacity?
A: No. The P79031-B21 uses a dedicated universal slot in the rear Box4 area and does not consume any PCIe expansion slots. Front drive bay configurations remain unaffected.

Q: Is this kit compatible with HPE iLO 7 and HPE Compute Ops Management?
A: Yes. The NS204i-u boot device installed via this kit is fully supported by HPE iLO 7 for out-of-band management and integrates with HPE Compute Ops Management for centralised server lifecycle operations.

Q: Can I purchase this kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. The HPE P79031-B21 is available now through iptrading.com.au with competitive pricing and local Australian support. Contact us for availability, bulk pricing, or configuration advice.
