DL380 G6 8 SFF Drive Cage Kit

The HPE 516914-B21 is a new drive cage kit built for the HP ProLiant DL380 G6 server. It adds eight small form factor drive bays to the chassis, letting administrators expand local storage capacity. The kit is designed to integrate with the server's existing drive backplane and mounting points.

Suits DL380 G6 storage expansion

This kit serves IT teams upgrading a DL380 G6 to handle more 2.5-inch drives. It is not for servers outside the DL380 G6 line, nor for systems that only accept large form factor bays. Buyers needing a different drive count or a newer generation chassis should look at other accessories.

Eight small form factor bays

The single specification that decides fit is the eight SFF bay count in a DL380 G6 form factor. Match this number and server model exactly before ordering, as the cage will not align with other configurations.

Questions about this item

How many 2.5-inch drives can the 516914-B21 cage hold in a DL380 G6?

The kit provides eight small-form-factor bays, so you can install up to eight 2.5-inch drives in the server.

Does the 516914-B21 add any active cooling or power draw that would change the DL380 G6 thermal profile?

The cage is a passive metal frame with backplane connectors; it adds no fans or power circuitry, so the server’s existing cooling and power budget remain unchanged.

What server model must already be in the rack for this 516914-B21 kit to fit and function?

It is designed exclusively for the HPE ProLiant DL380 G6; the mounting points and drive backplane connectors match that chassis only.
