HPE DL180 Gen10 SFF Box3 Cable Kit
This cable kit connects the SFF Box3 backplane to a Smart Array E208i-a or P408i-a controller in an HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen10 server. It is intended for administrators adding or reconfiguring internal storage cabling in that specific platform.
Signal integrity under continuous I/O
The assembly is built to maintain reliable data paths between the backplane and controller during sustained read and write workloads. Shielded construction helps preserve signal quality when the array operates at high queue depths for extended periods.
Replaces damaged or missing factory cables
Use this kit when the original DL180 Gen10 cables are lost, damaged, or were not included in a chassis repurpose. The upgrade is worth it only when the server already uses an E208i-a or P408i-a controller and the SFF Box3 backplane is present.

Questions about this item
Does the 882011B21 cable add any fan noise or heat when the server runs all day?
The cable is a passive connection with no electronics, so it does not generate heat or noise during continuous operation.
Which controller must already be installed for the 882011B21 kit to function?
The kit connects the SFF Box3 backplane to a Smart Array E208i-a or P408i-a controller, so one of those must be present.
Can the 882011B21 cable be used with a DL180 Gen10 that still has its original backplane cabling?
It replaces the existing link between the Box3 backplane and the Smart Array controller, so the original cable would be removed first.
