Purpose & Audience

This internal power cable connects the eight-bay 2.5-inch SFF hard-drive cage and backplane in supported ProLiant DL and ML servers. It is intended for administrators maintaining or expanding storage in those specific rack and tower models.

Fit & Exclusions

The cable suits technicians who need a direct replacement for part numbers 496074-001 or 516914-B21 in the listed DL380, DL385, DL388 and ML380 G6 or G7 systems. It does not serve builders working with different drive form factors, other server generations or non-HPE platforms that require alternative power-pin layouts or cable lengths.

Deciding Specification

The cable is engineered exclusively for the 8-bay SFF cage and backplane assembly used in the compatible ProLiant and StorageWorks models. Confirm that the target chassis uses this exact cage configuration before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 8-bay SFF cage and backplane draw extra power or generate noticeable heat when running all day in a DL380 G7?

The assembly is a passive drive cage with backplane; it adds no active cooling or power conversion of its own, so any heat comes only from the drives you install.

What must already be present in the server for this cage and backplane to function?

A compatible ProLiant DL380 G6, DL380 G7, DL385 G5p, DL385 G6, DL385 G7, DL388 G7, ML380 G7 or StorageWorks X1600, X1800, X3800, X9300, X9320 chassis with the correct drive-bay opening and backplane power header.

Will this 2.5-inch SFF cage fit alongside the existing 3.5-inch drive bays in a DL380 G6?

The cage occupies the 8-bay SFF front bay; it does not share space with 3.5-inch LFF bays, so both form factors can coexist if the chassis has separate SFF and LFF bay areas.
