HPE P72004-B21 6EDSFF KIT

Overview

The HPE P72004-B21 is a 6EDSFF (Enterprise 2.5-inch Small Form Factor) kit designed to integrate specific storage configurations into compatible HPE ProLiant server platforms. This kit addresses the need for standardized drive bay configurations, ensuring proper physical mounting and connectivity for up to six SFF drives within the server chassis. Its primary function is to facilitate the installation of storage media, supporting deployments where specific drive form factors are mandated by the server model or storage strategy. The HPE P72004-B21 is essential for maintaining the integrity of the server's internal architecture and ensuring reliable data access for surveillance systems or other data-intensive applications running on these HPE servers.

Compatibility

This kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL145 Gen11 servers equipped with the MR216i-p or MR216i-a controller. It is intended for use with 6EDSFF drive configurations, ensuring a precise physical fit and electrical connection within the designated drive bays of these server models. Verification against the specific server model's Bill of Materials (BOM) is recommended to confirm direct compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful attention to the server's internal layout. Ensure the server is powered down and all safety precautions are followed. The kit provides the physical framework and necessary connectors for six SFF drives. Proper seating of each drive and securing the kit within the chassis are critical for preventing vibration-induced issues and ensuring stable data transfer. Torque specifications for mounting screws, if provided in the server's service manual, should be adhered to.
