The Supermicro MCP-220-00044-0N 2.5" Silver carrier panel is a replacement and expansion front panel designed for managing 2.5-inch drives in compatible Supermicro server chassis. Finished in silver, the carrier panel provides a durable mounting surface and aligns drive connectors for secure hot-swap or fixed installation. Supplied as a single unit, it integrates with Supermicro bays that accept 2.5" carriers to facilitate straightforward drive addition or replacement without modifying the server chassis.

Advantages

The carrier panel offers a precise fit for server bays that accept 2.5" Supermicro carriers, built to withstand repeated drive insertions and removals. Its silver finish resists corrosion and retains a consistent appearance in racks. The panel ensures proper alignment of drive connectors for reliable electrical and mechanical contact, simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime during drive swaps.

Suitable for

• Replacing a damaged or missing 2.5" drive carrier in compatible Supermicro chassis
• Adding an extra 2.5" drive to a server bay that accepts Supermicro carrier panels
• Maintaining hot-swap drive functionality in rack-mounted servers
