How to install HPE DL560 Gen10 SAS Expander Kit

Installing the HPE DL560 Gen10 SAS Expander Kit is designed to be straightforward for qualified technicians. Follow these general steps to add the expander to a compatible Gen9 or Gen10 HPE ProLiant server:

  • Power down the server, unplug all power sources, and ground yourself to avoid static discharge.
  • Open the chassis and locate an available PCIe slot that supports a full-height expansion card. Confirm the slot is compatible with the expander and the server’s backplane configuration.
  • Remove the slot cover if required and prepare the expander card for installation, including any needed screws or brackets.
  • Insert the HPE DL560 Gen10 SAS Expander Kit into the selected PCIe slot firmly, ensuring full seating and alignment with both the slot and the rear interface.
  • Secure the card with the appropriate mounting screw or retention hardware to prevent movement during operation.
  • Connect the internal SAS cables from the expander to the controller (Smart Array or Smart HBA) and to the server’s storage backplane as specified in the user guide. Ensure cables are routed neatly to avoid obstruction to fans and other components.
  • Replace the server cover, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the server’s management interface to verify detection of the expander and confirm drive visibility through the controller’s management tools.
  • Update firmware for the expander and the connected controller to the latest compatible versions as recommended by HPE to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
  • Test the storage configuration by creating or expanding a logical drive, then monitor for any alert codes or abnormal drive behavior during initial startup and during a short post-implementation stress test.
  • Review cabling, airflow, and firmware compatibility as part of standard post-install checks to maintain data center reliability and prevent thermal or connectivity issues.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the HPE DL560 Gen10 SAS Expander Kit used for? It expands internal storage capacity within eligible HPE ProLiant Gen9 and Gen10 servers by extending the number of drives available through a supported Smart Array or Smart HBA controller, enabling higher storage density without external enclosures.
  • How many drives can be connected? Up to 28 drives can be supported when connected to a Gen10 or Gen9 supported Smart Array or Smart HBA controller, depending on the server chassis, backplane, and controller compatibility.
  • Which controllers are compatible? The expander is designed to work with HPE Smart Array and Smart HBA controllers that are supported in Gen9 and Gen10 ProLiant servers. Verify firmware compatibility in your server’s documentation.
  • What kind of interface does the expander use? The kit uses 12Gb/s SAS connectivity to provide high-throughput paths between the server controller and the storage backplane.
  • Is this a plug-and-play expansion? Installation involves a physical installation in a suitable PCIe slot and proper cabling to the controller and backplane. After installation, firmware updates and configuration through the controller’s management interface are typically required.
  • Do I need to modify my existing storage configuration? Depending on your current setup, you may need to adjust controller configurations or drive mappings. Always consult the server and controller documentation for best practices on expanding the logical drive layout.
  • Will this affect server warranty or support? Installation of HP hardware in compliant servers generally remains under the server's support plan, but it is best to confirm with HP/HPE Support or your approved service provider based on your warranty terms and regional policies.
  • Are there any special cooling considerations? The additional drives and expanded storage paths may impact thermal performance. Ensure adequate airflow and monitor temperatures after installation, especially in densely populated racks or high-IO workloads.

Great quality case, keyboard doesn’t work as intended
Color: Dark Cherry
Case is fine and good quality but the keyboard doesn’t work as intended. Bluetooth connects great but the keyboard is formatted incorrectly. For example, when I try to use a dash, it puts an apostrophe instead. I have no idea how to reformat it myself. I’d love just a replacement keyboard
