HPE ProLiant DL365 Gen10 Plus 8SFF SATA Direct Attach Cable Kit

P44886-B21 is the HPE ProLiant DL365 Gen10 Plus 8SFF SATA Direct Attach Cable Kit. It is a cabling option for the DL365 Gen10 Plus, a 2P, 1U AMD EPYC 7003 Series server with an 8 SFF front drive cage, and the maximum supported quantity is one.

The kit is required in two cases. When the 8SFF SAS/SATA drive cage is selected for Direct Attach, this cable kit must be selected. It is also required when the SR100i software RAID option is selected to support SATA drives. That software RAID runs on the embedded storage controller, which works in AHCI mode by default and covers RAID for up to 8SFF SATA drives or 2 U.3 NVMe SSDs. SATA RAID is enabled by selecting the DL365 Gen10+ SR100i SATA FIO Software RAID, P55046-B21.

Other controller choices use other cables. The DL36x Gen10 Plus 8SFF SAS/SATA Tri-Mode Cable Kit, P55882-B21, goes with the MR216i or MR416i Tri-Mode controllers and is not required when Direct Attached or the embedded controller is selected. The DL36X Gen10 Plus 8SFF Tri-Mode Cable Kit, P26451-B21, must be selected when the SR932i-p controller is chosen. The drives themselves sit in the DL365 Gen10 Plus 8SFF SAS/SATA BC Backplane Kit, P38579-B21.

The spare number for the P44886-B21 cable kit is P42987-001, an 8SFF backplane cable. More parts are in HPE server parts and kits.
