9W8C4 F238F 2.5-Inch to 3.5-Inch SAS SATA Drive Caddy Tray Adapter for PowerEdge R410 R720 T620

This 9W8C4 metal drive adapter mounts one 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drive or solid-state drive inside a compatible 3.5-inch LFF hot-swap tray such as F238F. The bracket positions the smaller drive so its native connector reaches the server or storage backplane through the outer 3.5-inch carrier. It is a passive mechanical adapter and does not convert voltage, protocol, connector type, or drive interface.

Interchangeable / Replacement Part Numbers

Direct Service Cross-References: 9W8C4, 09W8C4, Y004G, 0Y004G, N6RRK, 0N6RRK, WWGPK, 0WWGPK

Compatible Production and Later-Revision Bracket Cross-References: F236H, 0F236H, 1Y05J, 01Y05J, XRRCP, 0XRRCP

The leading-zero forms are service-label variations of the same five-character part numbers, not separate designs. F236H, 1Y05J, and XRRCP identify compatible 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch mechanical bracket revisions; 1Y05J is also cataloged as a V3 bracket. Full PPID strings, serial numbers, date codes, and manufacturing numbers printed on a bracket are traceability markings rather than separate orderable part numbers.

⭐ Compatible 3.5-Inch Hot-Swap Trays / Caddies

The adapter bracket must be installed in the outer 3.5-inch carrier family made for the target chassis. The following CPU Medics listings cover the documented tray families and their cross-reference numbers:

• F238F Carrier Family: F238F, G302D, X968D, and Y763D
• Legacy F9541 Carrier Family: F9541, NF467, H9122, G9146, MF666, D981C, Y973C, and J105C
• Later-Generation LFF Carrier Family: WH5D2 / X7K8W / Y796F / 58CWC 3.5-inch tray

These outer carrier families are not universal replacements for one another. Match the carrier to the chassis generation, bay, release mechanism, and backplane before installing the adapter.

✅ Confirmed Compatibility

Please note that compatibility applies only to configurations equipped with a 3.5-inch LFF hot-swap bay, the correct generation of outer carrier, and a SAS or SATA backplane that supports the selected 2.5-inch drive. Systems sold with native 2.5-inch SFF bays, cabled non-hot-swap bays, NVMe-only bays, or a different carrier family do not use this adapter in those bays. Configuration and controller support must be verified before ordering.

⚙️ Fit Notes

• The outer 3.5-inch tray, 2.5-inch drive, and mounting screws are not included unless they are shown or specifically stated in the listing.
• Match the outer carrier to the exact chassis and bay generation. Similar-looking 3.5-inch trays can use different release mechanisms, light pipes, keying, or mounting geometry.
• This bracket is intended for compatible 3.5-inch LFF hot-swap bays. It is not needed in a system's native 2.5-inch SFF carrier and is not intended for cabled non-hot-swap bays.
• The bracket provides mechanical alignment only. It does not convert SAS to SATA, SATA to SAS, NVMe to SAS or SATA, or one backplane connector into another.
• Confirm that the 2.5-inch drive interface, capacity, sector format, firmware, and data rate are supported by the server, array, backplane, and storage controller.
