HPE DL380 GEN10+ 2SFF Sas/sata BC KIT - P26923-B21

HPE P26923-B21 2SFF SAS/SATA Drive Bay Kit for ProLiant DL380 Gen10+

Overview

The P26923-B21 is a small form factor (2SFF) drive bay kit that adds SAS and SATA storage expansion capability to HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10+ servers. If you are configuring or expanding a DL380 Gen10+ and need additional 2.5-inch drive bays beyond the base chassis allocation, this backplane kit provides the mechanical and electrical infrastructure to support that expansion without replacing the server. Supporting both SAS and SATA interfaces gives you flexibility to install either enterprise SAS drives for higher throughput and dual-port redundancy, or SATA drives where capacity-per-dollar matters more than raw IOPs.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10+ platform. This kit is not interchangeable with Gen10 (non-Plus), Gen9, or other ProLiant families — HPE backplane assemblies are generation-specific and chassis-specific. Confirm your chassis model is the DL380 Gen10+ (not the DL380 Gen10) before ordering. Compatible with standard 2.5-inch SAS and SATA server storage drives for installation into the expanded bays this kit enables.

Installation Notes

Dimensions of 10.00 x 7.00 x 8.00 in and a weight of 1.84 lb are consistent with a backplane/cage assembly rather than a bare backplane card — plan for the physical volume inside the chassis bay. Installation requires access to the internal drive cage area of the DL380 Gen10+; follow HPE's service guide for the specific chassis to ensure correct cable routing to the system board or storage controller. SAS connectivity requires a compatible HBA or SmartArray controller already installed in the server — this kit provides the bay infrastructure, not the controller.
