HPE 724865-B21 DL380 Gen9 Universal Media Bay Kit

HPE 724865-B21 DL380 Gen9 Universal Media Bay Kit

Brand:

HPE

HPE 724865-B21 is the Universal Media Bay Kit for the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9, providing a front-access media and expansion interface for supported 8SFF and 8+8SFF configurations. The assembly provides front VGA, two USB 2.0 ports, two SFF drive positions, and an optical-drive bay. The kit does not include an optical drive; compatible DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drives are installed separately.

OVERVIEW

HPE 724865-B21 is a DL380 Gen9 Universal Media Bay Kit, positioned as a front-access expansion accessory for supported 8SFF and 8+8SFF chassis. Compatibility: HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9; Bay 1 only. Compared with 724864-B21: 724865-B21 provides the media-bay assembly, while 724864-B21 is the 2SFF front/rear SAS/SATA kit that requires this media bay for 2SFF front deployment.

USE CASES

DL380 Gen9 2SFF front-drive expansion - The Universal Media Bay enables support for two SFF front drives in supported configurations, providing additional front-access storage capability.
Front optical-drive deployment - Provides the physical optical-drive bay required for compatible 9.5mm SATA DVD-ROM or DVD-RW options, allowing organizations to add removable optical media when required.
Server installation and recovery workflows - Front-access optical media can support deployment, recovery or maintenance procedures where locally accessible installation media is required.
Data-center service access - Front VGA and USB 2.0 connectivity provides convenient local access for technicians performing server provisioning, diagnostics or maintenance.
DL380 Gen9 SFF storage configurations - Provides the required media-bay infrastructure for supported two-SFF front-drive configurations, making it useful in storage expansion projects.
Server refurbishment - A replacement 724865-B21 can restore the original media-bay functionality of a DL380 Gen9 where the factory assembly is missing or damaged.
Mixed storage and optical requirements - The bay combines support for SFF drives and an optical-drive position, giving administrators greater front-panel configuration flexibility than a basic drive-only arrangement.
Enterprise hardware lifecycle extension - Adds supported front-access functionality to an existing DL380 Gen9 rather than requiring replacement of the complete server chassis.

KEY FEATURES

Universal Media Bay architecture - Combines multiple front-access functions in one HPE-designed assembly, helping administrators configure supported DL380 Gen9 systems for storage and removable-media requirements.
Two SFF drive positions - Supports 2x SFF front drives in compatible configurations, giving buyers a defined path for additional front-access storage.
Optical-drive bay - Provides the physical location for a compatible optical drive, supporting DVD-ROM or DVD-RW deployment when separately purchased.
Front VGA port - Provides local video connectivity at the server front, making hands-on installation and troubleshooting easier without relying exclusively on remote management.
Two USB 2.0 ports - Adds front-access USB connectivity for service peripherals and supported removable devices, improving technician accessibility.
DL380 Gen9-specific design - Engineered specifically as an HPE DL380 Gen9 option, reducing the uncertainty associated with generic rack-server media accessories.
Bay 1 placement - HPE specifies that the Universal Media Bay can be located only in Bay 1 in supported 8SFF or 8+8SFF front-end configurations, giving procurement teams a precise installation requirement.
Separate optical-drive selection - The kit does not include an optical drive, allowing buyers to select the supported DVD-ROM or DVD-RW option according to operational requirements.

Why Choose This Product?

Exact DL380 Gen9 fit - Buyers get the HPE-specific media-bay option rather than relying on a generic chassis accessory.
Adds two SFF front-drive positions - Enables a documented storage-expansion path for supported DL380 Gen9 configurations.
Optical-media flexibility - Provides an optical-drive bay for separately purchased compatible DVD-ROM or DVD-RW hardware.
Front technician access - VGA and two USB 2.0 ports make local provisioning, troubleshooting and maintenance more convenient.
Clear procurement identification - The 724865-B21 SKU and 786579-001 assembly reference make replacement and inventory sourcing more precise.
Useful for mixed-use servers - Supports a combination of SFF storage and optical-media requirements within the supported front-bay design.
Lifecycle value - Restoring the original media-bay functionality can extend the practical service life of an existing DL380 Gen9 deployment.
Defined configuration boundaries - HPE clearly specifies the supported chassis/front-end configurations and Bay 1 placement, reducing compatibility ambiguity during procurement.
