Why Choose This Product?

• Exact HPE part identification - SKU 871242-B21 gives procurement teams a precise reference for quotations, purchasing, replacement, and inventory control.
• Designed for the DL360 Gen10 ecosystem - This is a model-specific HPE drive option rather than a generic backplane.
• NVMe-focused configuration - Appropriate when the target DL360 Gen10 configuration specifically calls for the HPE 2SFF NVMe backplane option.
• Simplifies configuration decisions - Buyers can distinguish it from the DL360 Gen10 2SFF SAS/SATA and SATA UFF alternatives.
• Supports lifecycle extension - A configuration-specific accessory can help organizations upgrade or maintain existing compatible server infrastructure instead of undertaking a full platform replacement.
• Procurement-friendly documentation - HPE publishes the product number, dimensions, weight, and compatibility-related information needed for technical evaluation.
• Avoids costly compatibility mistakes - The documented Xeon Gold 6250/6250L restriction is important to verify before purchase.
• Suitable for enterprise spare inventory - Maintaining the correct HPE-specific component can reduce delays when a compatible server requires backplane replacement.
