HPE 862131-001 3TB SATA 6G LFF 3.5 HDD

HPE 862131-001 3TB 6G SATA 7.2K 3.5in LFF Low Profile Spare

HPE 862131-001 is a service spare: a 3TB, 7,200 RPM hard drive in 3.5in low profile form with a 6Gb/s interface. It is the drive HPE supplies for option 861688-B21, the 3TB SATA 6G Midline LFF LP drive with digitally signed firmware.

Most requests for this number come from owners of ProLiant ML350 Gen10 towers, where HPE fitted it in non-hot-plug cages. Support contractors and IT teams use it to replace a failed disk with the identical spare HPE would send.

We list the 862131-001 at Euroland IT Store as New and Refurbished, subject to current stock.

HPE 862131-001 Technical Specifications

What Is The HPE 862131-001?

An HPE spare number identifies the exact replacement part held in HPE’s service stock. PartSurfer shows 862131-001 as the only part listed under option 861688-B21. Its where-used list names the HPE 3TB 6G SATA 7.2K LFF MDL LP drive, a reman version of it, and ML350 Gen10 server builds.

Ordering by spare number means the drive arrives in the same low profile form as the original. That avoids the common mix-up with hot-plug 3TB drives, which look similar but fit different bays.

A Note On The HPE Description

One line in PartSurfer describes 862131-001 as a 3TB SAS drive with a 6Gb/s interface. The option header and the drive names in the where-used list both say SATA 6G, and parts suppliers list the MB3000GVYZH model, which HPE sells as SATA. We describe it as SATA on that basis. If your controller only accepts one type, check the label on your current drive and talk to us before ordering.

ML350 Gen10 Tower Storage

The ML350 Gen10 can be built with LFF or SFF drive cages, and in hot-plug or non-hot-plug forms. HPE lists this spare against the non-hot-plug and LFF builds. In those machines, the drives sit inside the case and connect to a Smart Array or onboard controller. Replacing one means shutting down, opening the side panel and fitting the new disk in the same slot.

New HPE 862131-001

A New spare suits sites that want an unused disk for a production tower or need to meet a contract that asks for new parts. Check the listing for the condition and warranty that apply.

Refurbished HPE 862131-001

Refurbished spares give a cheaper route back to full redundancy after a disk failure. They are popular with IT support firms who look after many small servers. Condition and warranty are shown on the product page.

Before You Order

• Check for 862131-001 or 861688-B21 on the old drive.
• Confirm the server is an ML350 Gen10 or another model with low profile LFF bays.
• Note whether your controller is set up for SATA drives.
• Record which drive failed and the RAID level in use.
• Plan a shutdown window, as the drive is not hot-plug.

Restoring The Array After The Swap

After fitting the new 862131-001 and powering on, open HPE Smart Storage Administrator or check the controller status during boot. The new disk should be picked up and the rebuild should start on its own. A 3TB rebuild can take several hours, so keep the server running and avoid heavy jobs until it completes.
