Storage module configurations

For detailed configuration options for each of the storage modules, see the appropriate Quick Specs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. Before installing a storage module in an HPE Synergy 12000 Frame, be sure to review all installation information in the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup and Installation Guide or the HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Connection Module User Guide.

HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module configurations

• Install the storage module in any two adjoining device bays.

• Install up to four storage modules within a frame with HPE Synergy Gen9 compute modules or up to five storage modules within a frame with HPE Synergy Gen10 compute modules.

• Install an HPE Smart Array P542D Controller in mezzanine slot 1 or 4 when connecting a storage module to HPE Synergy Gen9 compute modules.

• Install an HPE Smart Array P416ie-m SR Gen10 Controller in mezzanine slot 1 or 4 when connecting a storage module to HPE Synergy Gen10 compute modules.

• The storage module is supported only for connectivity with fabric 1.

HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Connection Module configurations

For single- or non-redundant SAS connection module configurations:

• A SAS Connection Module in ICM bay 1 connects to the primary I/O adapter on storage modules in device bays 1, 3, or 5.

• A SAS Connection Module in ICM bay 4 connects to the primary I/O adapter on storage modules in device bays 7, 9, or 11.

For redundant SAS fabric configurations with SAS Connection Modules in ICM bays 1 and 4:

• Install a second SAS I/O adapter (the first I/O adapter comes standard) for each storage module.

• Install up to four storage modules within a frame with HPE Synergy Gen9 compute modules or up to five storage modules within a frame with HPE Synergy Gen10 compute modules.
