HP Gen8 2.5-inch SAS SATA hot-swap caddy

This 2.5-inch SFF carrier replaces HP OEM part numbers 651687-001 and 651699-001 for Gen8 rack servers. It accepts both SAS mechanical hard drives and SATA solid-state drives in a hot-pluggable tray. The built-in LED lock latch shows drive status and secures the disk against vibration. Designed for administrators who need non-stop drive replacement in dense server environments.

Verify Gen8 bay and backplane compatibility

Confirm your server is an HP ProLiant DL160 Gen8, DL320e Gen8 or DL360e Gen8 with standard 2.5-inch hot-swap bays. The backplane must support SAS and SATA signalling for the drive type you plan to install. Ensure the release handle and locking buckle align with the chassis ejection mechanism before ordering. This caddy does not fit Gen9 or later models or 3.5-inch large form factor slots.

Passive cooling with metal guide rails

The reinforced plastic casing uses metal guide rails to conduct heat into the server airflow path without a fan. No active cooling components add noise or power draw. The tray draws negligible power beyond the drive itself and relies on the chassis fans for thermal management. The status LED operates from the backplane supply during normal operation.
