Description

HPE P27193-B21 DL38X Gen10+ 8SFF X1 Tri-Mode U.3 Drive Bay Kit

Overview

The HPE P27193-B21 is a drive bay expansion kit designed to add an 8-small-form-factor (8SFF) drive cage with X1 Tri-Mode U.3 backplane support to HPE ProLiant DL38X Gen10 Plus servers. Tri-Mode U.3 backplane technology allows a single physical bay to accept NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives without hardware changes — giving you the flexibility to mix storage tiers or repurpose bays as workload requirements shift, rather than committing to a single protocol at install time.

Compatibility

This kit is designed for the HPE ProLiant DL38X Gen10 Plus server platform. Verify your specific chassis configuration and available drive bay slots before ordering — the DL38X Gen10+ supports multiple storage configurations and not all bay positions accept this kit interchangeably. Consult the HPE QuickSpecs for the DL380 Gen10 Plus or DL385 Gen10 Plus to confirm slot compatibility with your current backplane layout.
