HPE P56484-001 – Internal Storage Cable Kit

HPE P56484-001 – Internal Storage Cable Kit

Overview

HPE P56484-001 is an internal storage cable assembly used in HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server platforms to establish connectivity between the storage controller module and the drive backplane. It is part of the server’s internal storage architecture, ensuring reliable signal and power routing for installed drive bays. The cable assembly is engineered for high-density rack server environments where consistent storage performance and signal integrity are required across multiple drive types.

In DL360 Gen11 configurations, this cable kit supports the connection of the controller (such as OROC or Smart Array variants depending on system design) to an 8-bay small form factor U.3 backplane. This enables compatibility with SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives through the server’s unified storage architecture. The design ensures proper lane routing and stable high-speed data transmission required for enterprise workloads including virtualization, databases, and cloud infrastructure nodes.

The assembly is installed internally within the server chassis and follows the OEM-defined routing path to avoid airflow obstruction and maintain thermal efficiency. It is specifically matched for Gen11 mechanical layouts, ensuring correct fitment and connector alignment within the DL360 platform.

Typical Deployment Scenarios
