Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of the HPE 870549-B21 SAS Expander in a Gen10 server? +
The 870549-B21 SAS Expander is designed to increase the drive capacity of your HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server. By providing additional connectivity, it allows you to connect more hard drives or solid-state drives than the standard backplane would typically support, ensuring your storage architecture scales efficiently to meet growing enterprise data demands.
Is the 870549-B21 compatible with all HPE ProLiant Gen10 server models? +
This specific SAS Expander is engineered specifically for the HPE ProLiant DL38X Gen10 chassis series. It is optimized to integrate seamlessly within the internal architecture of these rack-mount servers. We recommend verifying your specific server model configuration to ensure physical slot availability and compatibility with your existing storage controller setup.
Does the 870549-B21 support 12Gb/s SAS performance? +
Yes, this component supports 12Gb/s SAS throughput, which is essential for maintaining high-speed data transfer rates in enterprise-grade storage environments. By leveraging 12Gb/s performance, this expander card helps minimize latency and maximizes the throughput potential of your high-performance SAS drives, ensuring optimal system responsiveness for I/O-intensive database and virtualization workloads.
How does the SAS Expander affect the storage controller configuration? +
The SAS Expander acts as an intermediary, allowing the host bus adapter or RAID controller to manage a larger number of physical drives by expanding the available SAS lanes. When deploying this unit, ensure your existing Smart Array controller is configured to recognize the expanded drive topology to maintain data integrity and proper RAID array management.
What are the power requirements for installing the 870549-B21 in a DL380 Gen10? +
Power for the SAS Expander is typically drawn directly from the server motherboard via the internal slot or dedicated power connectors within the chassis. Since it is a native HPE component designed for the DL380 Gen10, it operates within the standard power envelope defined for the server’s accessory riser configuration, requiring no external power supply modification.
Can the 870549-B21 be managed through HPE iLO or existing storage management tools? +
The management of the SAS Expander is handled transparently through your primary HPE Smart Array controller management interface. You will not need separate software to manage the expander itself, as it functions as an extension of your existing storage controller's visibility. HPE iLO tools will continue to report on the status and health of the drives connected through this expander.
What is the physical installation process for this expander card? +
Installation involves mounting the expander into the designated internal slot within the HPE DL380 Gen10 chassis. You will need to connect the SAS cabling from your storage controller to the expander and from the expander to the drive backplanes. Always ensure the server is powered down and the chassis is opened in accordance with HPE service procedures before attempting physical installation.
Does the 870549-B21 support mixed drive types like SAS and SATA? +
The expander is designed to support SAS and SATA drives, provided the underlying storage controller is compatible with both drive types. It passes the signal from the controller to the drives without modifying the protocol, making it a flexible solution for environments that utilize a mix of high-performance SAS drives for tier-one storage and high-capacity SATA drives for backup or secondary tasks.
