HPE 874566-B21 ML350 GEN10 4LFF Storage Drive Cage Kit

Detailed Specifications

This component is an internal drive cage kit designed specifically to expand the storage capacity of the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 tower server. It provides the necessary backplane and physical housing to add four additional 3.5-inch Large Form Factor (LFF) hot-pluggable drives, enabling significant data growth within the existing server chassis. The primary function is to scale storage density seamlessly for applications requiring greater local storage, such as databases, file sharing, or backup repositories. The core of the HPE 874566-B21 kit is its hot-plug SAS backplane, which supports a 12 Gb/s transfer rate. This ensures that the expanded storage operates at high performance levels, matching the capabilities of the ProLiant ML350 Gen10 platform. Integrating this kit allows IT administrators to increase server storage without the latency penalties associated with external storage arrays, making it ideal for performance-sensitive workloads. As a field-installable unit, this drive cage kit is intended for in-chassis deployment within the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10. Its design ensures it fits precisely into the server's designated drive bays, maintaining optimal airflow and thermal management. Integration with HPE's management tools allows for straightforward configuration and monitoring of the newly added drives, simplifying storage administration and maintaining infrastructure consistency.
