FAQs

Q: Which server is this cable kit compatible with?
A: This cable kit is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen12 server in the 2SFF (Small Form Factor) backplane configuration. It is not intended for use with other server models or generations.

Q: Do I need a storage controller with this cable kit?
A: No. This kit enables NVMe Direct Attach mode, which connects each NVMe drive directly to the processor via PCIe x4 lanes, bypassing the need for a dedicated storage controller.

Q: What is the difference between 2SFF and other SFF configurations in the DL325 Gen12 cable family?
A: The DL325 Gen12 supports multiple backplane configurations including 2SFF, 4SFF, 8SFF, and EDSFF variants. Each configuration requires its own specific cable kit. The P81911-B21 is specifically for the 2SFF (2-drive Small Form Factor) backplane.

Q: What NVMe performance benefit does Direct Attach provide?
A: By connecting NVMe drives directly to the CPU via PCIe lanes rather than through a storage controller, Direct Attach reduces I/O latency and removes a potential bottleneck, making it ideal for high-performance and latency-sensitive workloads.

Q: Can I purchase this cable kit in Australia from IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware reseller stocking HPE server accessories including this DL325 Gen12 2SFF NVMe Direct Attach Cable Kit. Contact us for pricing, availability, and volume orders.

Q: Is any additional software or licensing required to use this cable kit?
A: No additional software or licensing is required. Once installed in the 2SFF backplane of a DL325 Gen12, the NVMe drives connected via this kit are recognised natively by the server's PCIe fabric and supported operating systems.
