HPE P56995-B21 – Tri-Mode Storage Cable Kit

Overview

HPE P56995-B21 is a tri-mode storage cable kit used in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server platforms to connect front drive bays with the system storage controller. It supports SAS, SATA, and NVMe storage connectivity depending on system configuration.

It is designed for enterprise data centers where flexible and high-performance storage architecture is required within a single server platform. The cable kit enables proper signal routing between LFF front drive bays and internal controller interfaces.

It is deployed in modern HPE server environments where mixed storage technologies are used to balance capacity and performance. Installation is typically performed during system build or service replacement by trained technicians.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• NVMe/SAS/SATA mixed storage server builds
• Data center DL380 Gen11 deployments
• Front drive bay connectivity in enterprise servers
• Storage subsystem maintenance and upgrades
