Assuming DL380 then I think you'll find one of them is a G6, although it may be possible to put a DL380 G5 disk enclosure into a DL380 G6 it's not supported. May be a different server as you've given generation but not model no.

Never done it but can't I move the controller along with the enclosure over to the new system also if it fits?

I have an HP Proliant G5 server with a drive enclosure that I would like to move to another G5. The G5s seem to have 2 ways to install an enclosure, one vertical, one horizontal. My donor server has the enclosure horizontal but the recepient has the open space that is vertical. Is this move possible?

Move drive enclosure to another server

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
