HPE DL345 G12 8SFF TM PCIE BOX3 CBL KIT - P81894-B21

HPE P81894-B21 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The HPE P81894-B21 is a PCIe cable kit designed to facilitate internal connectivity within HPE server platforms. This accessory is crucial for integrating specific PCIe devices, such as network interface cards or storage controllers, into systems that require direct cabling solutions. Its primary function is to provide a reliable electrical path for data transfer between the motherboard's PCIe slot and the installed device, ensuring optimal performance and system stability. This kit is typically specified for server builds where standard cabling may not be included or when a specific configuration is required for optimal component placement and airflow.

Compatibility

This HPE P81894-B21 cable kit is engineered for compatibility with specific HPE ProLiant server configurations that utilize the 8SFF (Small Form Factor) drive bay layout and require a Box3 PCIe cabling solution. While direct compatibility is tied to the server model's internal architecture and PCIe riser configurations, it is intended for use in systems where this specific cable assembly is called out in the server's Bill of Materials or technical documentation for integrating PCIe devices into the Box3 slot.

Installation Notes

Installation requires careful attention to the server's internal layout and the specific PCIe device being connected. Ensure the server is powered down and disconnected from all power sources before attempting installation. The PCIe interface requires a secure connection to prevent signal degradation. The weight of the kit is 0.85 lb, indicating robust construction suitable for server environments.
