Description

The HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen12 4SFF x4 OROC Box 1/2 OCP SlotB Cable Kit is a required server cabling accessory that enables NVMe storage connectivity between the 4SFF drive backplane (Box 1 and Box 2 positions) and the OCP Slot B storage controller on the DL325 Gen12 platform. Delivering x4 PCIe lane bandwidth per drive via OCP controller-routed (OROC) signalling, this kit is essential for any 4SFF CTO configuration where OCP Slot B is designated as the primary storage controller.

Designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL325 Gen12, this cable kit ensures validated, interference-free routing that meets HPE's storage configuration requirements. It is a factory-matched accessory and must be included when deploying NVMe drives in 4SFF Box 1/2 bays with an OROC-capable OCP Slot B controller.

FAQs

Q: What does this cable kit do in the DL325 Gen12?
A: It provides the internal cabling path for NVMe drives installed in the 4SFF drive backplane (Box 1 and Box 2) to communicate with the storage controller seated in OCP Slot B on the HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen12 server, using x4 OROC (OCP Controller-Routed) PCIe signalling per drive.

Q: Is this cable kit mandatory for 4SFF NVMe configurations using OCP Slot B?
A: Yes. If you are configuring the HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen12 with 4SFF drive bays in Box 1/2 positions and routing storage through an OCP Slot B controller, this cable kit is a required accessory. It is not optional — omitting it will leave the backplane unconnected to the controller.

Q: Which server platforms is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit is designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL325 Gen12. It is not cross-compatible with earlier DL325 generations (Gen10, Gen10 Plus) or other HPE ProLiant models without HPE validation.

Q: What is OROC and how does it differ from standard direct-attach NVMe cabling?
A: OROC stands for OCP Controller-Routed — a topology where NVMe drive lanes are routed through an OCP-based storage controller rather than directly to the server's PCIe fabric or RAID backplane. This allows flexible controller selection via the OCP Slot and is a common architecture in HPE Gen12 servers for modular storage deployments.

Q: Can I purchase this cable kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading stocks HPE ProLiant server accessories including cable kits and ships Australia-wide. Visit iptrading.com.au or contact the team directly for availability and lead times on P81893-B21.

Q: Does this cable kit support both SFF SAS and NVMe drives?
A: The P81893-B21 is specifically an OROC NVMe cable kit designed for PCIe x4 NVMe routing via OCP Slot B. It is not intended for SAS/SATA drive connectivity. For SAS configurations, a different cable kit with the appropriate backplane and controller pairing is required.
