Hi,Re: Proliant ML350p hotplug disk cages

[macjai]

Hello ,

We just ordered and received a new Proliant ML350p G8 server equiped with a Smart array P420i and a 8 sff hard disk cage

Then we ordered by mistake 3 Lff hard disks (1tb sas)

My question is : rather than ordering 3 new sff disks , is it possible to replace this sff cage for an lff  ?

I saw in the price list the following part number :

659485-B21  "HP 5U 6 Large Form Factor (LFF) Hot Plug Drive Cage Kit"

it seems to be the right part number

anyone knows if it is the right part number alone or if i need others parts to replace the original cage (cables/backpanel/ etc)  ?
