The HPE P72318-B21 is a Tri-mode KIT designed for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen12 server, specifically supporting 8 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays. This component is crucial for configuring storage connectivity within the server chassis, enabling flexible integration of SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives depending on the installed controller. Its primary function is to facilitate the physical and electrical connection of drives to the server's backplane, ensuring reliable data transfer for mission-critical applications.
Compatibility
This Tri-mode KIT is engineered exclusively for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen12 server platform. It is designed to work with the 8SFF drive bay configuration of this specific server model. Ensure your server chassis is configured for 8SFF bays to guarantee proper fit and function. It is intended for use with compatible HPE Smart Array or Tri-mode controllers that support the drive types (SAS, SATA, NVMe) intended for the bay configuration.
Installation Notes
Installation requires opening the server chassis and mounting the kit into the designated 8SFF drive bay area. Proper seating of the kit onto the server's backplane is critical for establishing connectivity. Ensure all drive bay connections are secure before closing the chassis.
