Description

HPE 851615-B21 Tape Drive Cable KIT

Overview

The HPE 851615-B21 is a dedicated cable kit designed to facilitate the installation of tape drives within HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 servers. This accessory ensures the necessary physical connections are made for data transfer and power, enabling reliable on-premises data archiving and backup operations directly from the server chassis. It's critical for environments that require robust, offline data retention without relying solely on network-attached storage.

Compatibility

This cable kit is specifically engineered for the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 server series. It is intended for use with internal tape drives that connect via SAS or SATA interfaces, depending on the specific drive model and server configuration. Verify your ML30 Gen9 server's internal bay configuration and available controller ports to confirm direct compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the server chassis. Ensure the server is powered off and disconnected from all power sources before proceeding. The kit typically includes specific SAS/SATA data cables and power adapter cables designed to interface with the ML30 Gen9 motherboard and power supply unit. Refer to the HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen9 server maintenance guide for detailed installation procedures and connector locations.
