HPE Proliant ML350 GEN11 4LFF Sas/sata Basic Drive Cage KIT - P47216-B21

HPE P47216-B21 4LFF Basic SAS/SATA Drive Cage Kit

Overview

The P47216-B21 is HPE's 4-Large Form Factor basic drive cage kit designed for the ProLiant ML350 Gen11 tower server platform. It adds a structured SAS/SATA drive bay enclosure where one wasn't installed at the factory, giving you a defined, server-validated home for up to four 3.5-inch drives without improvising a mount or voiding your server chassis warranty. If you're expanding local storage on an ML350 Gen11 — spinning rust for bulk nearline capacity, or adding backup target drives — this is the hardware-controlled path to do it correctly. At 3.15 lb and measuring 9.90 × 13.90 × 7.90 inches, the cage is sized specifically for the ML350 Gen11 internal bay envelope; it is not a universal fit. Explore the broader HPE server accessories catalog for complementary components across the ProLiant line.

Compatibility

Designed and validated for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 tower server chassis exclusively. The SAS and SATA dual-interface support means you can seat either SAS HDDs (for higher sustained throughput and multi-initiator SAN use cases) or SATA HDDs/SSDs (for cost-effective bulk or mixed workloads) — provided the ML350 Gen11's installed storage controller supports the chosen drive type. SAS drives require a SAS-capable HBA or RAID controller already provisioned in the server; SATA-only controllers will not address SAS devices. Confirm your controller SKU before ordering drives. For compatible HPE LFF hard drives, cross-reference HPE's ML350 Gen11 QuickSpecs to validate supported drive SKUs. This cage does not fit ML350 Gen10, ML110, or other ProLiant tower variants — the Gen11 chassis geometry is specific. For other HPE drive cage options across the ProLiant portfolio, verify the target server generation before purchase.

Installation Notes

Installation is internal to the ML350 Gen11 tower chassis and requires powering down the server and removing the side panel before seating the cage assembly. The cage interfaces with the chassis backplane connector and the server's internal SAS/SATA cabling — verify that the appropriate internal cable (not included with this kit unless specified by HPE's ML350 Gen11 option guide) is available before beginning installation. Sourced factory-new through channel-direct distribution; no grey-market, no parallel imports.
