Overview

The HPE P55005-B21 is a 2.5-inch SFF U.2 NVMe cage kit designed to expand storage connectivity in compatible HPE ProLiant server platforms. This accessory enables the installation of U.2 NVMe drives, offering higher performance and lower latency compared to traditional SATA SSDs for demanding workloads like VDI, databases, or high-performance computing. Its specific design ensures proper fit and thermal management within supported server chassis.

Compatibility

This cage kit is engineered for specific HPE ProLiant server models that feature the necessary backplane and chassis provisions for U.2 drive installation. Consult your HPE server's QuickSpecs or technical documentation for exact compatibility with models such as certain configurations of the HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen11 servers. It is not a universal adapter and requires a host system designed to accept this specific U.2 drive cage.

Installation Notes

Installation involves mounting the cage into the designated drive bays within the server chassis and connecting the U.2 NVMe drives. Ensure the server is powered off and properly grounded before proceeding. The kit is designed for tool-less or minimal tool installation, leveraging existing server mounting points. Proper airflow within the server chassis is critical for the thermal performance of U.2 NVMe drives.
