DL380 Gen 10 swap LFF Drive cage for SFF

[Chrisbey]

I have a DL380 Gen 10 which was ordered incorrectly (P19717-B21).  It should have one 826690-B21 Gen10 Premium 6 SFF SAS/SATA + 2 NVMe or 8 SFF SAS/SATA Bay Kit but it arrived with the 8 LFF.  Can I order the parts and swap this out?  It looks like I need the part with the Power On/Standby button, Health DED, iLO Front Service Port and the USB 3.0 that goes on the right side.  The 8LFF model has a different type of this module which is on the top.  I also need what ever HPE DL380 Gen 10 6+2 NVME FIO Option provides.  Can this be done and can someone guide me?  Thank you very much!Need to convert the 8LFF to this SFF8LFF

No, it's a physically different sized chassis.

I was told by the services team that if I order these parts I can swap out the cage, backplane and convert this to a SFF chassis....

I'm open to being wrong, but if you check the DL380 quickspecs, you'll notice that the LFF and SFF servers are physically different sizes, so I doubt that one can be converted into the other.
