FAQs

Q: What does this SFF HDD Blank Kit do?
A: It fills empty 2.5" hot‑plug drive bays in ProLiant Gen8 servers to maintain proper airflow and pressure, help protect the backplane from dust and accidental contact, and provide a clean, uniform chassis front.

Q: Which servers is this kit compatible with?
A: It is designed for HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers equipped with SFF (2.5") hot‑plug drive cages. For other generations or LFF (3.5") bays, use the corresponding HPE blanks.

Q: Do I need a blank for every empty bay?
A: Yes. For best cooling performance and to maintain intended airflow, fit one blank into each unoccupied SFF drive slot.

Q: Is installation tool‑less and safe while the server is running?
A: Yes. The blanks snap in without tools and are passive components, so they can be inserted or removed with the system powered, following standard ESD and data‑centre handling practices.

Q: Does this kit include drive caddies or screws?
A: No. It includes only SFF bay blanks. Drive carriers, screws, and storage devices are not included.

Q: Can I purchase this in Australia from IP Trading and receive a tax invoice and HPE warranty support?
A: Yes. IP Trading supplies genuine HPE options in Australia with an AU tax invoice, and your purchase is supported under HPE’s hardware warranty terms.
