Can a DL360e LFF bay + backplane be replaced with a DL360p SFF bay + backplane (667868-001)?

[Cakemasher]

First off, I couldn't find the right board to post this message in, sorry!

Currently I own a HP DL360e with a LFF bay configuration. However, I want to replace this bay with a SFF configuration. Since buying a new official part (684961-001) is quite over my budget, I've been searching the internet for a while. Even tho I found some advertizements containing the right partnumber for my DL360e, they seem not to be reading my messages.

I did however, find someone selling a SFF bay (pn: 667868-001) for a DL360p which is not the same as my DL360e. My question is, is the DL360e compactable with a SFF bay from a DL360p with partnumber 667868-001?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Rick
