774743-B21 Overview
774743-B21-HPE DL560 Gen9 NVMe 6 Solid State Drive Express Bay Enablement Kit is an enablement solution designed to extend the storage capabilities of HPE DL560 Gen9 servers by providing the necessary interface for NVMe solid state drive integration. Its specialized design converts an express bay into a high-performance NVMe drive enclosure, enabling data-intensive applications and server enhancement in enterprise environments.
This kit is not a traditional expansion card like a network interface, RAID controller, or capture card; instead, it is optimized specifically for storage expansion. It leverages a PCIe-based architecture typically aligned with PCIe 3.0 standards, integrates controller technology for efficient drive management, and is compatible with major operating systems used in server settings. Its compact form factor and focused use case make it ideal for scalable storage deployments in data centers.

Questions & Answers
What is the HPE DL560 Gen9 NVMe 6 SSD Express Bay Enablement Kit (SKU: 774743-B21)?
The HPE DL560 Gen9 NVMe 6 SSD Express Bay Enablement Kit (SKU: 774743-B21) is an upgrade kit that enables up to six NVMe solid-state drives in the front Express bays of an HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 server.
Which HPE servers support the SKU 774743-B21 NVMe enablement kit?
The SKU 774743-B21 kit is supported exclusively on HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 servers with the appropriate system ROM and firmware updates applied.
How many drives does this NVMe Express Bay kit enable?
This kit enables installation of up to six NVMe SSDs in the front-facing Express bays of a single HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 server.
What components are included in the SKU 774743-B21 kit?
The kit includes six drive carriers, an NVMe backplane assembly, interconnect cables and all necessary firmware to fully enable NVMe SSD support in the DL560 Gen9 Express bays.
What performance benefits can I expect from using NVMe drives with this kit?
NVMe drives deliver up to 6× higher I/O operations per second (IOPS) and lower latency compared to SAS SSDs, accelerating database queries, virtualization workloads, and high-performance computing.
Is a firmware or BIOS upgrade required before installing this kit?
Yes. You must update the system firmware, BIOS and HPE iLO controller to the minimum supported versions specified in the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 documentation before installation.
What is the installation process for the NVMe enablement kit?
Installation involves powering down the server, removing existing drive carriers, installing the NVMe backplane and drive carriers from the kit, connecting the interconnect cables, then updating firmware and configuring drives via iLO.
Can I use HPE Smart Array controllers with this NVMe kit?
No. NVMe SSDs must attach directly to the system’s NVMe backplane; HPE Smart Array controllers are not used for NVMe drive management.
Can I mix NVMe and SAS/SATA drives in the same server with this kit?
No. When using the Express Bay NVMe enablement kit, only NVMe SSDs can be installed in the enabled bays; SAS/SATA drives must remain in separate drive cages.
Which NVMe SSD models are compatible with this enablement kit?
Compatible SSDs include any HPE-qualified U.2 NVMe 2.5-inch self-encrypting or standard SSDs listed in the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen9 QuickSpecs.
Are there any power and cooling requirements for installing NVMe SSDs?
Yes. Ensure the server has sufficient power supply capacity and improved airflow as specified in the DL560 Gen9 thermal guidelines to support the increased NVMe thermal profile.
Do I need a specific BIOS version to use SKU 774743-B21?
You need BIOS version P89 2.0 or later and System ROM version 2.07 or later to fully support the NVMe Express Bay Enablement Kit.
Is the NVMe kit hot-swappable after initial installation?
Once installed and configured, individual NVMe SSDs in the Express bays remain hot-swappable, provided firmware and OS drivers support NVMe hot-remove.
How can I verify that the NVMe enablement kit is installed correctly?
After installation, check iLO system information for six NVMe backplane entries and verify each SSD is detected by the OS using the NVMe CLI or HPE Scripting Tools.
Does the kit include drive carriers for NVMe SSDs?
Yes. The enablement kit ships with six HPE NVMe drive carriers preconfigured for U.2 2.5-inch NVMe SSDs.
What warranty is provided with the HPE NVMe Express Bay Enablement Kit?
The SKU 774743-B21 kit carries the standard HPE one-year parts warranty and is covered under your existing HPE ProLiant service agreement.
