Description

The HPE ProLiant DL345 Gen12 8SFF x2 Front GPU Box 1 OCP SlotB Tri-Mode Cable Kit is a server configuration option designed for GPU-optimised DL345 Gen12 CTO builds requiring flexible front storage and network connectivity. This cable kit enables eight Small Form Factor (8SFF) front drive bays with dual (x2) Tri-Mode connectivity, supporting SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives simultaneously within Box 1 of the front GPU chassis — a critical enablement option for high-performance compute deployments built on AMD EPYC Gen5 processors.

Integrating OCP Slot B connectivity alongside PCIe Gen5 Tri-Mode I/O, this kit supports complex GPU server configurations where both front storage density and additional networking capacity are required. It is part of the DL345 Gen12 GPU CTO cable kit family, which also includes x4 NVMe Direct Attach, x4 PCIe Tri-Mode, 4SFF, and 4EDSFF variants — making it essential to select the correct option for your chassis layout.

FAQs

Q: What server is the P84157-B21 cable kit compatible with?
A: The P84157-B21 is designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant Compute DL345 Gen12 GPU CTO Server (P81949-B21). It is not a universal cable kit and should only be used with this GPU-optimised 2U server platform.

Q: What drive types does the Tri-Mode connectivity support?
A: The x2 Tri-Mode interface in this cable kit supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives simultaneously, giving administrators flexibility in drive selection across the 8 Small Form Factor (SFF) front bays.

Q: How does this kit differ from other DL345 Gen12 cable kit variants?
A: The P84157-B21 is specifically the 8SFF x2 Tri-Mode, Front GPU Box 1, OCP Slot B variant. Sibling kits in the family include x4 NVMe Direct Attach, x4 PCIe Tri-Mode, 4SFF, and 4EDSFF configurations. The correct kit depends on your front storage layout, drive type, and whether OCP Slot B networking is required.

Q: What is the role of OCP Slot B in this cable kit?
A: OCP Slot B integration allows an OCP 3.0 network interface card to be connected as part of this cable kit's configuration, enabling network connectivity without consuming additional PCIe slots — a key benefit in GPU-dense server builds where slot availability is limited.

Q: Can I purchase this cable kit in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) stocks HPE ProLiant server accessories and configuration options, including cable kits for the DL345 Gen12 platform. Contact the team for availability, lead times, and configuration advice for your GPU server build.

Q: Does this kit require any additional components to enable the 8SFF front bays?
A: This cable kit is a required enablement component for the 8SFF x2 Tri-Mode front storage configuration on the DL345 Gen12 GPU CTO Server. Depending on your build, additional components such as drive backplanes, SFF drives, and an OCP Slot B NIC may be required. Consult HPE's DL345 Gen12 configuration guide or contact IP Trading for build assistance.
