About the DXD9H
The Dell DXD9H is a Dell 2.5-inch Gen14/Gen15/Gen16 Hot-Plug Drive Caddy Tray (SFF) engineered to house hot-plug storage drives in Dell PowerEdge servers and storage arrays. Built with precision stamped metal brackets, a spring-loaded release handle, and integrated LED light pipes, the DXD9H provides secure drive mounting and hot-swap servicing without system downtime.
Compatibility
Compatible with 2.5-inch small form factor SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, the DXD9H installs into 2.5-inch hot-plug drive cages across Dell systems including R740, R740XD, R640, R750. The DXD9H is not compatible with 3.5-inch drive bays without a dedicated 2.5-to-3.5 inch adapter bracket, ensuring proper drive alignment in SFF backplanes.
How to identify a genuine unit
Genuine Dell drive caddies carry stamped DP/N 0DXD9H markings on the metal frame, along with release handle latch markings and light pipe routing. The front bezel of the DXD9H features clear plastic light pipes that channel status and activity LEDs from the drive backplane.
Buying used
When purchasing used DXD9H drive caddies, verify that the spring-loaded release lever unlatches and locks cleanly without sticking. Check that all mounting screw holes on the DXD9H are undamaged and that the four drive mounting screws are included. Ensure the clear plastic light pipes on the DXD9H are intact.
