ProLiant DL380 Gen10 and 3,5" Drive Bay

[Paddy404]

Hello all,
we have a ProLiant DL380 Gen10. This is equipped with a front bay for 8 2.5 inch hard disks. The other "half" of the front is not yet occupied.
Now we would like to expand 3.5 inch hard drives, but can't find the correct tray name in the instructions. From other servers I know the rame as 3 hard drives on top of each other and 2 next to each other (means 6 hard drives completely). Does anyone know what the exact name of the frame is?

Hi,

There are some limitations on using SFF & LFF togeather on the front of the chassis.
Please refer to the QuickSpecs, page# 13, 38-40, 52.
