To support SAS and SATA drives, install an HPE Smart Array type-p controller in the secondary riser. Use the HPE Smart
Storage Administrator (SSA) to manage the controller functions from a single, intuitive interface.
Installing a Smart Array type-p controller in the secondary riser
Prerequisites
•
Determine if the drive configuration you plan to support with the new Smart Array controller requires a specific system
operating temperature. For more information, see the HPE website (https://www.hpe.com/support/xl225ngen10plus-
thermal).
•
If you are installing a Smart Array P-class Gen10 controller, an energy pack option is required to enable the HPE Smart
Array SR SmartCache or HPE Smart Array MR CacheCade.
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 instructions on installing the energy pack, see the chassis user guide on the HPE website (https://www.hpe.com/info/
apollo2000gen10plus-docs).

Before you perform this procedure, perform the following steps:
1. Back up data on the system.
2. Close all applications.
3. Update the server firmware if it is not the latest revision.
4. Do one of the following:
◦
If the new Smart Array is the new boot device, install the device drivers.
◦
If the new Smart Array is not the new boot device, go to the next step.
5. Ensure that users are logged off and that all tasks are completed on the server.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down
and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the
drives as failed when the server is powered up.
•
Before you perform this procedure, make sure that you have the following items available:
◦
T-10 Torx screwdriver
◦
T-15 Torx screwdriver
Procedure
1.
Power down the server.
2.
If installed, disconnect the tube set.
