Brand:
HPE

HPE 725578-B21 is the DL180 Gen9 8SFF Smart Array Cable Kit, an internal storage connectivity accessory designed for compatible HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9 configurations. It provides the required cable solution for connecting an 8-SFF drive configuration with supported Smart Array controllers. HPE specifies this cable option according to the combination of chassis and storage controller, making configuration verification important before purchase.

OVERVIEW

  • HPE 725578-B21 is the DL180 Gen9 8SFF Smart Array Cable Kit, positioned within the HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9 storage cable options. It provides the appropriate internal cabling for supported 8SFF Smart Array configurations. Compatibility: HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9. Model comparison: 725577-B21 is for 8LFF Smart Array configurations, while 725578-B21 targets 8SFF. 

USE CASES

  • 8SFF Smart Array deployment: Connect the compatible 8SFF drive configuration to a supported internal Smart Array controller.
  • RAID storage configuration: Provide the required internal cabling for compatible Smart Array-based RAID deployments.
  • DL180 Gen9 storage upgrades: Add or replace the required storage cable when upgrading an existing compatible server configuration.
  • Smart Array controller installation: Support DL180 Gen9 configurations using compatible internal Smart Array controllers.
  • Server maintenance and repair: Replace an unavailable, damaged, or failed storage cable with the correct HPE option.
  • Data center hardware refresh: Complete a DL180 Gen9 storage configuration when the required internal cable is not already installed.
