Description

HPE P48808-B21 12EDSFF Drive Bay Kit for ProLiant DL380 Gen11

Overview

The HPE P48808-B21 is a 12-bay EDSFF (Enterprise and Data Center Standard Form Factor) drive cage kit designed for the ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server platform. If you're expanding NVMe storage density on a Gen11 DL380 deployment — whether for a video surveillance NVR workload, a high-throughput database, or a data center compute node — this kit adds structured bay capacity in the front-facing E1.S/E3.S EDSFF format without requiring a chassis swap. At 1.69 lb, it ships as a discrete install component, not a rack-level assembly.

Compatibility

This kit is designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server family. EDSFF drive bays are not interchangeable with standard LFF or SFF drive cages — confirm your chassis revision is Gen11 before ordering. The EDSFF form factor supports next-generation NVMe drives in the E1.S or E3.S profile depending on backplane configuration; verify your backplane and cable kit are matched to the drive type you intend to deploy. This kit does not include drives, cables, or backplane boards. UNSPSC classification 43211600 (computer storage devices and media) confirms its role as a storage infrastructure component within HPE server platforms.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed at the chassis level during server configuration or field upgrade. Ensure the DL380 Gen11 chassis has an available EDSFF cage slot before ordering — not all DL380 Gen11 configurations ship with open bays. HPE's iLO-based server management can confirm populated vs. available drive bay inventory prior to physical installation. Drives, data cables, and power backplane components are sourced separately; cross-reference the DL380 Gen11 server accessories and storage upgrade catalog to complete the bill of materials for your deployment.
