SFF Hard Drive Blank Kit

The HPE 666987-B21 Small Form Factor (SFF) Hard Drive Blank Kit is a must-have accessory for any enterprise or SMB data center that uses HPE ProLiant servers. Designed specifically to fill empty SFF drive bays, this blanking kit improves airflow management and supports consistent thermal efficiency throughout your server chassis. Whether you’re preparing for future drive installations or simply maintaining optimal system cooling, this kit helps extend the life of your hardware by preventing hotspots caused by unoccupied drive slots. It’s ideal for IT administrators who prioritize system efficiency, operational consistency, and cost-effective infrastructure scalability.

Features

The HPE 666987-B21 SFF Hard Drive Blank Kit is tailored for environments where unused drive bays in HPE ProLiant servers must be efficiently sealed. Leaving these bays exposed can negatively impact thermal balance and cause internal components to overheat. With this blanking panel installed, your server benefits from improved airflow regulation, directing cool air exactly where it’s needed, thereby enhancing overall system performance.

Advanced Options

HPE has engineered this blank to snap securely into the drive slot without tools, allowing for quick and easy installation. Built from durable materials, it ensures a reliable fit and long-term usage, even in high-vibration rackmount environments. It is specifically compatible with a wide range of HPE servers that support 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) drives. Perfect for IT managers, system integrators, or technicians planning to scale storage later, the 666987-B21 ensures your infrastructure remains clean, well-cooled, and upgrade-ready.

Product Key Features

  • Maintains optimal airflow inside server chassis

  • Compatible with 2.5" SFF HPE ProLiant servers

  • Tool-less installation for fast deployment

  • Supports thermal efficiency and prevents hotspots

  • Durable plastic construction for long-term use

  • Ideal for preparing drive bays for future upgrades


Reliability & Performance

The HPE 666987-B21 SFF Hard Drive Blank Kit offers more than just a physical placeholder—it contributes directly to system stability, efficiency, and long-term reliability. By ensuring that unused 2.5-inch drive bays in your ProLiant servers are sealed, this blank helps manage internal airflow paths effectively. In data centers and high-density server deployments, airflow is critical to cooling components like CPUs, memory modules, and RAID controllers. This blank kit ensures those paths aren’t disrupted, leading to improved cooling efficiency, reduced fan wear, and extended component lifespan. Its tool-free installation allows for fast deployment or reconfiguration, making it a smart addition during server upgrades or new system setups. Manufactured with the same quality and precision as HPE’s standard server components, the 666987-B21 offers perfect compatibility and fit.Whether you’re filling a single drive bay or outfitting an entire rack, this blank is a foundational part of your server’s physical infrastructure and thermal control strategy.
