HPE 868000-B21 – DL360 Gen10 8SFF DisplayPort / USB / Optical Drive Blank Kit

Overview

The HPE 868000-B21 is a front chassis blank kit designed for HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 servers in 8SFF configurations. It is used to cover and support unused front I/O and media openings such as DisplayPort, USB, or optical drive slots depending on system configuration.

It ensures proper airflow management and physical protection of unused front panel cutouts in the server chassis. The kit helps maintain correct thermal design by sealing open interface areas in supported configurations.

This component is installed on the front section of the DL360 Gen10 server chassis as part of the system’s mechanical assembly. It does not provide active connectivity and functions purely as a structural and airflow management component.

It is used in enterprise environments where consistent chassis configuration and proper airflow control are required across standardized server deployments.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

Used in HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 8SFF server configurations where unused front I/O or optical drive openings need to be blanked. Common in data centers and standardized server deployments to maintain airflow efficiency and chassis uniformity.
