Description

HPE P74702-B21 4NVMe Direct Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE P74702-B21 is a direct cable kit designed to expand NVMe storage capabilities within specific HPE ProLiant server models. This accessory enables the installation of up to four NVMe drives, directly connecting them to the server's motherboard or backplane. It addresses the need for high-speed, low-latency storage in demanding applications like video analytics, large database operations, or high-performance computing environments where traditional SATA or SAS storage is a bottleneck.

Compatibility

This direct cable kit is specifically designed for the HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 server. It is not compatible with other server models or generations. Ensure your DL380a Gen12 server is configured to accept this type of direct-connect NVMe expansion.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis. The kit includes the necessary cables to connect up to four NVMe drives to the designated ports on the DL380a Gen12 motherboard. Ensure proper seating of all connectors to avoid intermittent drive detection. Torque specifications for drive mounting screws, if applicable, should be followed as per the server's service manual. It is recommended to perform installation with the server powered off and disconnected from the power source.
