Which HPE servers are compatible with SKU 725572-B21?
SKU 725572-B21 is fully compatible with HPE ProLiant DL180 Gen9 rack servers and can also be used in select Gen9 platforms that support an 8-bay SFF drive cage.
How many drives can I install with the 8SFF Hard Drive Cage/Backplane Kit?
The kit supports installation of up to eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SFF drives, providing high-density storage capacity within the ProLiant DL180 Gen9 chassis.
Which drive types are supported by this backplane kit?
The backplane supports both SAS and SATA 2.5-inch hard disk drives and solid-state drives, delivering versatile storage options for diverse workloads.
Does the kit support NVMe SSDs?
No. The 725572-B21 backplane is designed for SAS and SATA SFF drives only and does not support NVMe protocol or U.2/U.3 form factor SSDs.
What components are included in the 725572-B21 kit?
The kit includes the 8-bay drive cage, integrated backplane assembly with SAS data connectors, mounting brackets, and required cabling for ProLiant DL180 Gen9 integration.
Do I need additional drive caddies or carriers?
Yes. Each SFF drive requires an HPE 2.5-inch drive carrier (caddy) with matching part numbers to ensure secure mounting and connectivity in the backplane.
Is hot-swap functionality supported?
Yes. The backplane kit features full hot-swap support for SAS and SATA drives, enabling drive insertion and removal without powering down the server.
What interface does the backplane use to connect to the system board?

Are special cables required for installation?
The kit includes necessary internal SAS cables; additional uplink cables may be required depending on your RAID controller or HBA configuration.
Can I update backplane firmware?
Backplane firmware updates are managed through the server’s iLO interface and HPE Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) to ensure compatibility and reliability.
Does the kit require specific RAID controllers?
The cage and backplane are controller-agnostic. For RAID functionality, pair with any compatible HPE Smart Array or third-party 12 Gb/s SAS RAID controller.
What is the expected performance impact?
With eight 12 Gb/s SAS ports, the backplane delivers high aggregated throughput, optimized for data-intensive applications and virtualization workloads.
How do I install the 8SFF drive cage backplane kit?
Power down the server, remove the front bezel, slide the existing cage out, secure the new 8SFF assembly in place, connect SAS cables to the controller, and reassemble.
What warranty covers part number 725572-B21?
HPE covers the kit under its standard limited warranty for ProLiant hardware, offering repair or replacement options for manufacturing defects.
How can I order a replacement or spare for this backplane kit?
