HPE P57013-B21 NVMe Boot Cable Kit
Overview
The HPE P57013-B21 NVMe Boot Cable Kit provides a direct connection for NVMe SSDs to serve as boot devices within compatible HPE ProLiant servers. This kit is engineered to bypass traditional RAID controllers for boot operations, offering faster boot times and simplifying OS deployment in environments where an OS drive is required but doesn't need to be part of a larger data storage array. It's designed for server configurations prioritizing boot performance and direct NVMe access for the operating system.
Compatibility
This NVMe boot cable kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL3X5 Gen11 servers. It is intended for use with specific NVMe U.2 form factor drives that are compatible with the server's internal NVMe connectors. Always verify compatibility with your exact HPE ProLiant DL3X5 Gen11 server model and the intended NVMe SSD before purchase.
Installation Notes
Installation requires opening the server chassis. Ensure the server is powered off and disconnected from power before proceeding. The kit includes the necessary cabling to connect one or two U.2 NVMe drives to the server's dedicated NVMe boot ports. Torque specifications for any drive mounting screws should be followed as per the HPE ProLiant server documentation. No special tools are typically required beyond standard server maintenance equipment.
