Description

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen12 4EDSFF x4 NVMe Direct Attach Cable Kit (Box 2) provides the essential storage connectivity for E3.S EDSFF drives in the second drive box of the DL345 Gen12 SFF/EDSFF CTO Server. Each of the four EDSFF drives receives a dedicated PCIe Gen5 x4 direct-attach connection straight to the processor — bypassing the need for a storage controller and delivering maximum NVMe performance per drive.

Designed specifically for Box 2 configurations on the HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen12 platform, this kit supports mixed SFF and EDSFF backplane deployments and is a required option when populating EDSFF NVMe drives in the secondary bay position. Compatible with the HPE ProLiant Compute DL345 Gen12 SFF/EDSFF CTO Server (P81948-B21). In stock and ready to ship from iptrading.com.au — order now for fast dispatch.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between this kit (P81898-B21) and the Box 1 equivalent?
A: P81898-B21 is designed for Box 2 of the HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen12 and supports 4 EDSFF (E3.S) drives in that bay position. The Box 1 variant targets the primary drive bay. If you are populating EDSFF drives in both boxes, you will need both kits.

Q: Does this cable kit require a separate storage controller?
A: No. This kit provides direct PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe connections from each EDSFF drive straight to the processor, bypassing the need for a dedicated storage controller and delivering maximum NVMe throughput.

Q: Which server is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL345 Gen12 SFF/EDSFF CTO Server (P81948-B21). It is not compatible with earlier DL345 generations or other ProLiant models.

Q: Can I mix SFF and EDSFF drives in the same DL345 Gen12 server?
A: Yes. The DL345 Gen12 platform supports mixed SFF and EDSFF backplane configurations, and this cable kit is part of the family of accessories that enables such deployments.

Q: How many EDSFF drives does this kit support?
A: This kit supports up to 4 x EDSFF (E3.S 1T) drives in Box 2, each with a dedicated x4 NVMe direct-attach connection to the processor.
