Which HPE servers are compatible with SKU 872225-B21?
This kit is validated for HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 and Gen10 Plus servers equipped with the required NVMe-capable I/O subsystem.
How many SSD drives can the Express Bay Kit accommodate?
It supports eight 2.5-inch NVMe U.2 SSDs in a single front-access bay for maximum storage density.
What type and size of SSDs does this kit support?

Power down the server, slide the bay module into the front slot, secure it with the retention latch, and reconnect power—no special tools required.
How do I monitor drive health and performance?
Use HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) and HPE Smart Storage Administrator to view SSD status, temperature, wear indicators, and performance metrics.
Does this kit support RAID with NVMe drives?
Hardware RAID is not supported on direct-attach NVMe; use software RAID or operating-system level RAID for data protection.
What power and cooling considerations apply?
Each NVMe SSD may draw up to 6 W; ensure your DL560 server has adequate cooling and a PSU rated to support the additional power load.
Is firmware updating required for the bay kit?
No firmware is required for the bay kit itself, but ensure both server firmware and SSD firmware are up to date for optimal NVMe support.
