Purpose-built cable kit
The HPE P52152B21 internal cable kit is engineered specifically for the ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server when configured with the NS204i-u component. It provides the exact internal connections required to integrate that storage controller into the chassis. This accessory targets system builders and IT administrators performing upgrades or repairs on this platform.
Build and routing
The kit weighs approximately .331 lb and measures 8.46 x 12.01 x 1.77 in, reflecting a compact cable assembly designed to fit the dense internal layout of the 380 Gen11. Connectors are pre-terminated to match the NS204i-u interface and the server backplane, ensuring correct pin alignment and secure retention during operation. Routing follows the chassis cable management channels to maintain airflow.
Ready to install
No additional brackets, fasteners or software media are included in the package; the cables themselves are the complete deliverable. Installation is a physical interconnect task only, requiring no firmware updates or operating-system drivers beyond what the server and controller already provide. The kit enables the NS204i-u to function but does not add management features or change controller capabilities.

Questions about this item
What interface standard does the NS204i-u cable kit use and what does it limit?
The kit connects the NS204i-u controller inside the ProLiant DL380 Gen11; the controller itself determines the interface and any speed limits.
What physical space and mounting points are required to fit this cable kit?
The cables measure 8.46 by 12.01 by 1.77 inches and weigh 0.331 lb; they route through the standard drive-bay channels of the DL380 Gen11 chassis.
How is the kit installed and which step is most often missed?
Power down the server, open the chassis, connect each cable between the NS204i-u board and the backplane, then secure the retention clips — forgetting to latch the clips is the common error.
