Hi all,
Can someone advise me on the components required to get 20 drives operational in a DL380G9 server.
Spec I have identified at the moment:
1 x Proliant DL380 G9 Server (752689-B21)
1 x Smart Array controller P440ar/2GB with FBWC (Comes with the base server above)
Additional items to order
20 x 300GB 12G SAS 15K SFF drives (759208-B21)
1 x 12Gb SAS Expander with cables (727250-B21)
2 x DL380 G9 8SFF Bay2 cage/backplane kit (768857-B21)
My Question.
The server comes with both a Media cage and 8SFF Drive cage Kit, I need 3 8SFF cages to house 20 drives.
Can I simply remove the media cage, fit two additional 8SFF drive cages with the SAS Expander to be able to install the 20 x SFF drives? or would I need anything else to make this possible?
