Dell PowerEdge R620 10 Bay 2.5" Backplane

This 10 bay 2.5 inch HDD backplane is designed for the Dell PowerEdge R620 server. It provides the drive connectivity required for high-density storage configurations in that specific chassis. The unit includes the necessary cables for installation. It suits administrators expanding or repairing drive capacity in an R620.

Installation requires server disassembly

Installing the backplane involves opening the PowerEdge R620 chassis and routing the included cables to the motherboard or RAID controller. The part fits the designated 10 bay 2.5 inch slot. Care is needed when aligning the drive connectors and securing the cables to avoid bent pins or loose connections that prevent drive detection.

Verify chassis and drive count before ordering

Confirm the server is a PowerEdge R620 configured for ten 2.5 inch drives; other R620 variants use different backplane layouts. Ensure the system has a compatible controller and cabling path for the 10 bay unit. This accessory does not fit 3.5 inch drive models or servers outside the R620 line.
