HPE DL360 Gen10 2SFF NVMe Kit

This kit adds two small-form-factor NVMe drive bays to an HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 server. It is built for administrators who need local high-speed storage in a 1U rack chassis. The backplane connects directly to the server board to support non-volatile memory express devices. Installation uses the existing drive cage space without extra cabling.

For DL360 Gen10 NVMe upgrades

Suitable for IT teams expanding flash capacity on a supported DL360 Gen10 platform. Not for owners of other ProLiant models or earlier generations that lack the required backplane connector. Builders needing more than two NVMe slots should evaluate alternative configurations. Customers without a compatible server cannot use this kit.

Two-bay NVMe backplane interface

The single specification that decides fit is the two-bay NVMe backplane interface designed for the DL360 Gen10. It determines whether the server chassis accepts the kit and whether the drives communicate at PCIe speeds. Verify the server model and generation before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2SFF NVMe backplane kit or a different drive cage for my DL360 Gen10?

The 871242B21 kit adds two small form factor NVMe slots to the front of a ProLiant DL360 Gen10, so select it when you need direct-attached NVMe storage in those bays.

What does the 2SFF NVMe designation mean once the kit is installed in the server?

It provides two front-accessible small form factor bays wired for NVMe drives, letting the operating system see each drive as a low-latency NVMe namespace without a RAID controller in between.

Which interface standard does the backplane use and what does it limit in practice?

The backplane uses the NVMe protocol over PCIe lanes from the CPU, so throughput and queue depth are capped by the processor's PCIe generation and the number of lanes allocated to the two bays.
