2.5-inch Server Drive Caddy
This new SMUGDESK tray caddy replaces HP OEM part numbers 500223001 and 500223002. It fits ProLiant G5, G6 and G7 rack and blade servers including DL360, DL380, DL580, BL460c, ML350, ML370 and ML570.

Server Maintenance and RAID Builds
The caddy suits administrators expanding storage arrays, configuring RAID volumes or swapping failed drives in the listed ProLiant models. It is not for systems outside the G5 to G7 families, nor for 3.5-inch drive bays or proprietary blade enclosures not named in the compatibility list.
HP Part Number Match
The decisive specification is the exact match to HP part numbers 500223001 and 500223002; if your server maintenance manual calls for either number, this tray is the correct replacement.

Questions about this item
Which drive interfaces does the tray accept for use in my HP ProLiant server?
The caddy supports both 2.5‑inch SAS and SATA hard drives and solid‑state drives, matching the server’s native backplane connections.
Will this replacement caddy fit the same drive bays as the original HP parts 500223001 and 500223002?
Yes, it is built to the exact OEM dimensions so it slides directly into the G5, G6 and G7 chassis without modification.
How can I confirm the drive is seated and recognised after installing it in the tray?
Insert the drive until the latch clicks, then check the server’s POST or iLO interface — the new volume should appear immediately.
