HPE P48918-B21 Storage Controller Enable Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE P48918-B21 is a storage controller enable cable kit designed specifically for the HPE server platform integration workflow on DL360 Gen11 systems. When you need to activate or reconfigure a storage controller in a DL360 Gen11 chassis, the internal cabling between the controller and backplane must be present and correctly routed — this kit supplies exactly those cables, eliminating the need to source individual conductors separately. At 0.14 lb and measuring 11.10 x 9.70 x 0.40 in, the kit is packaged flat for clean handling inside a 1U chassis.

Compatibility

This kit is designed for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server platform. The 'STG Cntrl Enable' designation in the product name identifies it as specific to storage controller enablement on that chassis generation — do not attempt to use it with DL360 Gen10, DL380, or other ProLiant generations, as internal cable routing and connector pinouts differ between platforms. Verify your DL360 Gen11 storage configuration option against HPE's QuickSpecs before ordering to confirm this kit matches your controller selection.

Installation Notes

Cable kits of this class are routed during initial server build or controller upgrade procedures inside the DL360 Gen11 chassis. Follow HPE's published maintenance and service guide for the DL360 Gen11 to ensure correct connector seating and cable routing paths — improper routing in a 1U enclosure can obstruct airflow and thermal management. This is an internal component; installation requires chassis access and should be performed by personnel familiar with ProLiant server internals.
