HPE DL320 GEN11 LFF Optical CBL KIT - P54641-B21

HPE P54641-B21 Optical Drive Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE P54641-B21 is a cabling kit specifically designed to enable the installation of optical drives within servers configured for 4 Large Form Factor (LFF) drives. This accessory ensures proper data and power connectivity for optical media solutions in environments requiring disc-based data access or archival, such as certain legacy data management or specialized imaging systems. It is a crucial component for expanding server functionality beyond standard internal storage when optical media is a requirement.

Compatibility

This cabling kit is engineered for HPE servers that support 4 Large Form Factor (LFF) drive bays. It is intended for use with systems where an optical drive is to be integrated into the chassis, providing the necessary connections for both power and data transfer to the server's motherboard or controller. Verify your server's internal bay configuration and optical drive requirements to ensure compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation requires access to the server's internal chassis and drive bays. The kit provides the specific cables needed to connect a compatible LFF optical drive to the server's backplane or appropriate motherboard headers. Ensure the server is powered down and properly grounded before beginning installation. Refer to your specific HPE server model's documentation for detailed internal component installation procedures.
