652998-001 - HP SAS/SATA LFF Non Hot-Pluggable 3.5-inch Hard Drive Tray/Caddy

Description

The HP 652998-001 is a 3.5-inch hard drive carrier specifically designed for use with non-hot-pluggable drives in HP ProLiant server environments. This carrier serves as the physical interface between the hard drive and the server's internal backplane, ensuring a secure and stable connection. It is engineered to accommodate standard 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives, providing a robust housing that protects the drive during installation and operation. Unlike hot-pluggable carriers, this model requires the server to be powered down before the drive can be installed or removed. This is typical for certain server configurations where drive access is less frequent or where cost-effectiveness is prioritized over continuous uptime for drive maintenance. The carrier ensures that the drive is correctly aligned with the connectors on the server's motherboard or backplane, facilitating reliable data transfer. Constructed from durable materials, the HP 652998-001 is built to withstand the demanding conditions of a server environment. Its design focuses on secure mounting, preventing vibration and ensuring the physical integrity of the drive connection. This carrier is an essential component for expanding storage or replacing drives in compatible HP ProLiant servers that utilize non-hot-pluggable 3.5-inch drive bays.
