Organisations can expand HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10 servers with the HPE ML350 Gen10 Slimline Optical Disk Drive (ODD) Bay Kit, which allows for an ODD to be installed directly on the server for easy access to software and backups and/or for the use of older media forms.

The Bay Kit is designed to provide reliable operation while providing the proper airflow and thermal operating characteristics required for the ML350 Gen10 server (the system on which the kit is installed). Its tool-less installation method allows for the quick, simple installation of ODDs into the server, hence reducing the time to upgrade a system or deploy a new server.
