The HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller is a hardware device designed to manage and monitor the data storage on your computer. It is specifically designed for HP ProLiant servers and provides a high level of data protection, availability, and performance.
What is RAID? RAID stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. It is a data storage technology that uses multiple hard drives to improve the reliability and performance of data storage. RAID controllers like the HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller provide additional functionality to manage the multiple hard drives in a RAID array.
Features and SpecificationsThe HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller has several features and specifications that make it an ideal solution for data storage management. It supports up to 16 SAS or SATA drives and provides RAID levels 0, 1, 1+0, 5, 5+0, and 6. It has a maximum transfer rate of 3Gb/s per port and supports up to 512 logical drives.
The controller has 256MB of cache memory that provides faster access to frequently accessed data. The cache memory is also protected by a battery-backed write cache (BBWC) that ensures that data is not lost in case of a power failure. The BBWC provides up to 72 hours of backup power, which is more than enough to safely shut down the system in case of a power failure.
The HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller also supports hot plug drives, which means that you can add or remove drives without shutting down the system. This feature allows for easy maintenance and upgrades without disrupting the system's operation.
Installation and ConfigurationThe installation and configuration of the HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller is straightforward. The controller comes with a user manual that provides detailed instructions on how to install and configure it.
The first step in the installation process is to shut down the server and disconnect all cables. Next, install the controller in an available PCI-E x8 slot on the motherboard. Once the controller is securely installed, connect the cables from the drives to the controller.
The next step is to configure the RAID array using the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU). The ACU is a software application that allows you to configure and manage the RAID array. It comes with the controller and can be installed on the server.
Using the ACU, you can create logical drives, configure RAID levels, and set up hot spare drives. The ACU also provides monitoring and alerting features that allow you to monitor the health and performance of the RAID array.
Performance and BenefitsThe HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller provides several benefits, including improved data protection, availability, and performance. By using RAID technology, the controller can provide data redundancy, which means that data is stored on multiple drives. This ensures that data is not lost in case of a single drive failure.
The controller also provides faster access to data by using cache memory. The cache memory stores frequently accessed data, which can be quickly retrieved by the system. This results in faster read and write speeds and improved overall system performance.
In addition to data protection and performance benefits, the HP 507925-B21 Smart Array P700m/256mb PCI-E x8 RAID Controller also provides easy maintenance and upgrades. The hot plug feature allows you to add or remove drives without shutting down the system. This makes it easy to perform maintenance tasks and upgrade the system without disrupting its operation
