ProLiant DL380 Gen11 Media Bay Kit
The HPE P50728-B21 is a Universal Media Bay Kit designed for the ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server. It provides the mechanical framework to install optical drives or similar media devices into the server chassis. This accessory is intended for IT administrators configuring a Gen11 system that requires physical media support.
SFF form factor for DL380 Gen11
The kit is built to the Small Form Factor standard that matches the drive bays of the ProLiant DL380 Gen11. Compatibility with this specific server generation and chassis type is the single specification that determines whether the part fits. It will not align with other server models or form factors.
One bay with 1.09 kg installed weight
The assembly weighs 1.09 kg once fitted and occupies a single media bay measuring 22.1 x 28 x 15.8 cm. It comfortably handles one standard slim optical drive or equivalent media device. It runs out when a build needs a second media bay or a full-height drive form factor.

Questions about this item
What does the 1.09 kg weight mean for rack density when the kit is installed in a ProLiant DL380 Gen11?
At 1.09 kg the media bay adds minimal mass to the chassis, so rack weight limits and slide-rail ratings are effectively unchanged after installation.
Which interface standard does the Universal Media Bay Kit use to connect to the server?
The kit mounts in the front SFF bay and connects through the server’s native backplane interface; no separate cable standard is required.
What are the exact dimensions I need to clear for the 22.1 x 28 x 15.8 cm media bay in my rack?
Allow 22.1 cm width, 28 cm depth and 15.8 cm height (8.7" x 11.02" x 6.22") of free space in the front SFF slot for a flush fit.
