upgrade ML370 G6 with a (6) LFF drive kit
Hi
Hope some one can help me
I am about to purchase a used ML 370 G6 server with a (8) SFF drive cave, standard configuration on a 487795-421
Is it possible to add a (6) LFF drive cave kit and place it above the 8 drive SFF cave, so i get room for 8 2.5’’ SFF HD and 6 3.5’’ LFF HD in the server
And what part numberes is needed for that upgrade
Best
Ivan

Re: upgrade ML370 G6 with a (6) LFF drive kit
The part number for the LFF expansion says "Backplane" and not Kit so I think the LFF model already has the cage ready and is just missing the backplane?
Can you pop the connector off that part of the server and get a picture of the inside? I'm specifically wondering if it has the grooves for the drives to slot into or not.

Re: upgrade ML370 G6 with a (6) LFF drive kit
When installing a single six-bay LFF backplane, HP recommends installing it in drive cage bay 1.
When installing a second six-bay LFF backplane, one of the following options is required:
- An optional SAS controller
- An optional 24-port SAS expander
For installation steps refer to page 65 of the server’s user guide. Click here to access the user guide.
