Description

HPE P81607-B21 X2 Direct Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE P81607-B21 is a direct-attached cable kit designed for specific HPE ProLiant server configurations, enabling direct connection to storage devices. This kit is crucial for deployments requiring high-speed, short-distance data transfer between the server and its storage, often found in dense compute or storage environments where external SANs are not utilized.

Compatibility

This cable kit is engineered for HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 servers equipped with an 8 Small Form Factor (8SFF) drive bay configuration. It is specifically designed for X2 direct cable connections, ensuring proper fit and electrical interface for these server models. Verify your server's drive bay count and generation to confirm compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and connecting the cables directly to the motherboard or backplane, and then to the drive bays. Ensure the server is powered down and properly grounded before beginning installation. The weight of the kit (108.84 lb) is a shipping and handling consideration, not an installed component weight.
