HPE ML GEN10 T/r Conversion KIT - 874578-B21

HPE 874578-B21 ML Gen10 Tower to Rack Conversion Kit

Overview

The HPE 874578-B21 is a mechanical conversion kit that re-configures HPE ProLiant ML Gen10 tower servers for standard rack installation. If you're consolidating standalone tower deployments into a rack enclosure — whether for a data center refresh, a new rack build-out, or a branch office standardization — this kit provides the hardware necessary to mount the server chassis in a 7U rack form factor without replacing the server itself. It eliminates the cost of migrating to a new rack-native platform when existing ML Gen10 tower assets can simply be converted in place.

Compatibility

Designed specifically for the HPE ProLiant ML Gen10 server family. Verify your specific ML Gen10 model against HPE's QuickSpecs before ordering — not all ML Gen10 variants accept the same conversion kit, and using a mismatched kit can result in improper chassis fit or missing mounting hardware. Check your server's product number against HPE's compatibility matrix for 874578-B21 to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation converts the tower chassis to a rack-mount configuration and requires a compatible HPE rack enclosure. Ensure your rack has adequate clearance for the converted 7U chassis depth and that rail hardware included in the kit matches your rack's post spacing. Review HPE's installation guide for the ML Gen10 conversion procedure — improper rail alignment can stress the chassis and void the manufacturer warranty. No special tools beyond standard data center hand tools are documented as required, but confirm with HPE's installation documentation for your specific ML Gen10 variant.
