HPE P14606-B21 DL38X Gen10+ Rear Serial Cable Kit

Overview

The HPE P14606-B21 is a rear serial cable kit designed for ProLiant DL38X Gen10+ rack servers. It restores or adds a rear-panel serial (COM) port connection — useful in data center environments where out-of-band serial console access is required for BIOS-level management, legacy serial device integration, or headless server configuration without relying on iLO network access. If your DL38X Gen10+ deployment includes serial-dependent KVM infrastructure, terminal servers, or industrial serial devices, the P14606-B21 provides the physical cable routing from the motherboard header to the rear chassis panel.

Compatibility

Designed for the HPE ProLiant DL38X Gen10+ server family. Verify your specific chassis sub-model against HPE's compatibility matrix before ordering — the DL38X designation spans multiple 1U and 2U configurations, and serial cable routing varies by chassis revision. This kit is not a universal HPE serial cable; it is generation- and chassis-specific.
