Dell PowerEdge 14G 2.5 inch hot-swap HDD/SSD caddy tray (DXD9H)

Server storage upgrades often stall when the original drive carrier is missing or damaged—without a proper caddy, a new SAS or SATA drive cannot be securely mounted or hot-swapped. This Dell DXD9H carrier solves that by providing an exact-fit, tool-less tray for 2.5-inch drives in PowerEdge 14th-generation servers. It restores hot-swap capability and protects the drive with a durable metal frame and LED status indicator.

Who is it for

IT administrators, data center technicians, and system builders maintaining Dell PowerEdge R440, R540, R640, R740, R740xd, R840, R940, T440, T640, or C6420 servers. Ideal for replacing lost or broken caddies, expanding storage, or standardizing drive bays across a fleet.

Tips

Before ordering, verify your server model is from the 14th generation. The caddy does not include a drive—install your own 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive using the provided screws. For mixed drive environments, the same carrier works for both interfaces, simplifying inventory.
