HPE 872267-B21 DL560 Gen10 Universal Media Bay Kit

Brand:
HPE

The HPE 872267-B21 Universal Media Bay Kit is an optional expansion component for HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 servers. It provides the platform with a dedicated universal media-bay configuration and enables the optional front USB 2.0 ports. HPE lists this kit within the DL560 Gen10 Media Bay Kits, alongside storage expansion options, making it a practical choice for organizations configuring or upgrading compatible Gen10 rack servers.

OVERVIEW

  • The HPE 872267-B21 Universal Media Bay Kit is an optional DL560 Gen10 platform component for deployments requiring the supported universal media-bay configuration and optional front USB 2.0 connectivity. Compatibility: HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10; the kit can only be populated in Box 1 and is unavailable with the 24-SFF front end. Model comparison: HPE lists 872267-B21 as the universal media-bay option, while 872223-B21 is a separate 2SFF Premium HDD Front NVMe/SAS/SATA Kit that requires this media bay.

USE CASES

  • DL560 Gen10 media-bay configuration – Provides the platform-specific universal media-bay option for compatible server builds where this functionality is required.
  • Front USB 2.0 enablement – HPE identifies the Universal Media Bay Kit as the requirement for the optional two front USB 2.0 ports, making it useful where convenient local USB access is part of the deployment design. 
  • Server provisioning and maintenance – Supports configurations where front-access USB connectivity can simplify approved local installation, recovery, or maintenance workflows.
  • DL560 Gen10 storage expansion planning – The 872267-B21 is required by HPE for the 872223-B21 2SFF Premium HDD Front NVMe/SAS/SATA Kit, making it relevant to certain front-storage expansion projects. 
  • Enterprise server configuration – Provides an HPE-specific option for organizations standardizing DL560 Gen10 builds instead of sourcing an incompatible generic media-bay component.
  • Data-center server upgrades – Allows compatible DL560 Gen10 systems to be configured with the supported media-bay architecture as part of a broader hardware refresh.
  • Procurement-controlled infrastructure – The exact HPE option number helps purchasing teams identify the required component for bills of materials, quotations, and replacement planning.
  • Field upgrade planning – Useful when evaluating an existing DL560 Gen10 for additional supported front-panel functionality, subject to the server's existing front-end configuration.

KEY FEATURES

  • Universal Media Bay Kit – Provides a platform-specific media-bay option for compatible HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 configurations.
