HPE 484355-001 DVD 12.7MM Optical Cable

Adding or restoring an optical drive in a rack server can require more than the drive itself. HPE 484355-001 is the internal cable assembly used to provide SATA data and power connectivity for optical-drive installations in supported ProLiant systems. HPE service documentation for the ProLiant DL120 G6 lists 484355-001 as the ODD option kit, while parts references associate the cable assembly with several G6 and G7 ProLiant models. This makes it useful when a server still has a valid requirement for local DVD/optical media but the original cable assembly is missing from the chassis.

One Assembly, Two Requirements: Data and Power

An optical drive needs both a path for SATA data and a source of power. HPE 484355-001 brings those requirements together in an internal server cable assembly. Parts references describe Serial ATA data and power connectivity with a 4-pin power connection and SATA data connection, designed around the physical layout of compatible ProLiant chassis.

This is why 484355-001 should not be confused with a standard desktop SATA lead. Its value lies in the server-specific assembly and routing. In a supported ProLiant, the correct cable lets the optical drive connect without substituting a general-purpose wiring arrangement that was not designed around the chassis.

ProLiant Systems Associated with 484355-001

The DL120 G6 is directly supported by HPE documentation listing 484355-001 as the optical-drive option kit. Enterprise parts references also associate the cable with selected ProLiant DL120 G7, DL180 G6, DL360 G6/G7, DL380 G6/G7 and DL580 G7 systems. The exact server generation matters because internal layouts and optical-drive options differ between models.

For a repair or restoration, the server model and the original HPE part reference provide the most useful identification points. That approach is more precise than selecting a cable simply because it has SATA connectors.

Product Details

• Manufacturer: HPE
• Part number: 484355-001
• Component type: Internal optical-drive SATA data and power cable assembly
• Application: Optical/DVD drive connectivity
• Documented example: HPE ProLiant DL120 G6 ODD option kit
• Environment: Internal ProLiant server installation

484355-001 and 484355-004 Are Related, but Not Identical

The nearby part number can cause confusion. HPE 484355-004 is identified as the optical-drive power cable component, including use with the ProLiant DL380 G6. HPE 484355-001 refers to the broader optical-drive cable/option assembly providing the connectivity needed by the ODD installation. Keeping the two part numbers distinct helps when only one element of the optical-drive cabling is required.

Other Internal Cables You May Encounter in ProLiant Hardware

For hard-drive data rather than optical-drive connectivity, the HPE 448180-001 450mm SATA data cable is used in supported non-hot-plug ProLiant drive configurations. Outside the server chassis, the cable requirement changes completely: the HPE 487655-B21 3m SFP+ direct-attach copper cable handles 10GbE networking, and the HPE 407339-B21 2m External Mini-SAS Cable serves compatible external storage connections.

Organisations also maintaining HPE tape equipment may need the HPE 406596-001 internal SAS cable for a StorageWorks 1U enclosure or the HPE 418008-001 Molex splitter cable for power distribution in that chassis. These links cover different maintenance requirements rather than interchangeable alternatives.

Keeping Optical-Drive Capability in an Existing Server

Optical drives are less common in new server deployments, but they can still be useful in older environments for legacy installation media, recovery workflows or systems that were originally built with an ODD. A New 484355-001 assembly suits organisations wanting an unused component for such a restoration. A Refurbished assembly can provide a practical alternative when maintaining an established ProLiant platform with original-type spares.
