FAQs

Q: What server is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL345 Gen12 SFF/EDSFF CTO Server (P81948-B21). It is not a universal cable and should only be used in the validated DL345 Gen12 platform configuration.

Q: What does this cable kit connect within the DL345 Gen12?
A: It connects the dual (x2) OROC 8SFF drive backplanes located in Box 3 to the OCP Slot A storage controller interface, enabling OROC-based storage controller configurations in that drive box.

Q: Is this cable kit required or optional for my DL345 Gen12 build?
A: This kit is required when configuring Box 3 with an OROC-based storage controller via OCP Slot A on the DL345 Gen12. If your build does not use OROC connectivity in Box 3, this kit may not be needed — verify your storage architecture against HPE's configuration guide.

Q: Can I purchase this cable kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading stocks HPE ProLiant accessories and server components in Australia, including this DL345 Gen12 cable kit (P81888-B21). It is available for fast dispatch from iptrading.com.au.

Q: What is OROC and why does it matter for storage configuration?
A: OROC stands for Optical Re-timer OCP Cable — a high-bandwidth cabling standard used in HPE Gen12 servers to connect storage backplanes to OCP-based controllers. It supports the high-speed, low-latency signalling required for dense SFF storage configurations in the DL345 Gen12.

Q: Does this cable kit support HPE's triple-box front storage architecture?
A: Yes. The DL345 Gen12 features a flexible triple-box front storage architecture, and this cable kit specifically addresses the Box 3 position within that architecture, enabling dual OROC 8SFF backplane connectivity from OCP Slot A.
