18. Connect all peripheral cables to the server.
19. To enable HPE Smart Array SR SmartCache or HPE Smart Array MR CacheCade in a Smart Array
P-class Gen10 controller, install an energy pack.
SmartCache and CacheCade enable solid-state drives to be used as caching devices for hard drive
media. These features accelerate access to frequently used data by caching hot data from the hard
drives onto the solid-state drives.
For more information, see the chassis user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://
www.hpe.com/info/DX2000Gen10-docs).
20. Configure the HPE Smart Array Gen10 controller.
The installation is complete.
Configuring an HPE Smart Array Gen10 controller
Procedure
1. Power up the server.
2. If you are running the server in UEFI Boot Mode, select the boot options.
3. Update the drive firmware if it is not the latest revision.
4. (Optional) If running the server in Legacy Boot Mode, set the controller as the boot controller.
5. (Optional) If running the server in Legacy Boot Mode, change the controller boot order.
6. If the new controller is not the new boot device, install the device drivers.
7. If the controller firmware is not the latest version, use SPP to update it.
8. Use UEFI System Utilities or HPE Smart Storage Administrator (HPE SSA) to create arrays and
logical drives.
See the following resources for more information:

SPP – See the product documentation in the information library:

M.2 SATA SSD option
The server has dedicated connector for a dual-bay M.2 SSD riser that supports M.2 2280 SATA SSDs. If
only one SSD is being installed, install it in bay 7. For information on the riser bay numbering, see M.2
SSD riser bay numbering on page 18.
Use the embedded HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 Controller to manage the M.2 SATA SSDs. The
S100i SR Gen10 SW RAID support requires that the server boot mode be set to UEFI.
