Description

HPE P72221-B21 4EDSFF NVMe Storage Kit

Overview

The HPE DL3XX G12 1U 4EDSFF NVMe Stick Backplane Kit, model P72221-B21, is designed to expand storage capacity in specific HPE ProLiant server generations. This kit enables the installation of high-performance NVMe drives, crucial for I/O-intensive workloads like video analytics, database acceleration, or high-speed data logging where rapid data access is paramount. It directly addresses the need for faster storage tiers within a server chassis without requiring external enclosures.

Compatibility

This backplane kit is specifically designed for HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen12 servers. It supports up to four EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Center SSD Form Factor) NVMe drives. Ensure your server model and generation are listed in the HPE QuickSpecs for this specific kit to confirm compatibility. It is not compatible with U.2 or U.3 NVMe drives or standard 2.5-inch SATA/SAS SSDs unless explicitly stated by HPE for this chassis.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis and connecting the backplane to the server's motherboard via designated PCIe lanes or specific backplane connectors. Proper cable management is essential to maintain airflow within the server. Consult the HPE ProLiant DL3XX Gen12 server documentation for detailed installation procedures, including any required firmware updates or specific slot assignments for optimal performance. Torque specifications for mounting screws, if provided by HPE, must be adhered to.
