HPE DL300 GEN10+ 2U 2SFF Sas/sata BC KIT - P26925-B21

HPE P26925-B21 2U 2SFF SAS/SATA Bay Converter Kit

Overview

The HPE P26925-B21 is a small form-factor drive bay converter kit designed for HPE ProLiant DL300 Gen10+ servers in a 2U rack configuration. It adds or reconfigures 2.5-inch (2SFF) SAS and SATA drive bay capacity — the right component when you need to expand or shift storage density within an existing DL300 Gen10+ chassis without replacing the enclosure. At 1.36 lb, this is a factory-new, mechanical integration kit: no compute, no firmware, no logic — just the bay hardware that enables your HPE server storage expansion path. If your deployment involves a 2U rack-mount server and you're adding SAS or SATA drives to an existing DL300 Gen10+ system, P26925-B21 is the enabling component that makes the physical slots available.

Compatibility

This kit is confirmed for the HPE ProLiant DL300 Gen10+ series in a 2U rack form factor. It supports both SAS and SATA interface protocols, making it compatible with a broad range of 2.5-inch enterprise drives — spinning SAS/SATA HDDs and SATA SSDs alike. Verify your specific DL300 Gen10+ sub-model's bay configuration and backplane before ordering: not all DL300 Gen10+ configurations ship with the same drive cage arrangement, and this kit is intended for the 2SFF bay slot count. Cross-reference your server's QuickSpecs document or service guide to confirm P26925-B21 is the correct bay kit for your chassis variant. Do not assume compatibility with DL300 Gen9 or earlier — the Gen10+ chassis geometry differs.

Installation Notes

Installation is a tool-assisted mechanical procedure within the server chassis. Follow HPE's documented drive cage removal and replacement procedure for the DL300 Gen10+ platform — the server must be powered down and removed from the rack before bay kit installation. No firmware update or driver configuration is required for the bay kit itself; drive recognition depends on the installed backplane and HBA/RAID controller already present in the system. Ensure your existing storage controller supports the drive interface (SAS or SATA) you intend to populate into the newly enabled bays.
