Product Overview of M.2 Enablement Kit For Cloudline Server
The P01491-B21 HPE M.2 Enablement Kit is a product designed to enhance the capabilities of Cloudline servers by providing additional storage options. Cloudline servers are high-performance servers used in cloud data centers, and the M.2 Enablement Kit allows them to accommodate M.2 solid-state drives (SSDs). This kit is compatible with HPE Cloudline CL3100 Gen10 servers.
M.2 Enablement Kit
The HPE M.2 Enablement Kit is a hardware kit that allows HPE Cloudline servers to support M.2 NVMe SSDs. The kit includes an M.2 riser card and a PCIe card that connects to the server’s motherboard. The M.2 riser card allows the server to support up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs, providing additional storage capacity for applications that require high-speed data access.
The PCIe card that comes with the kit is a half-height, half-length card that fits into one of the server’s PCIe slots. It provides connectivity for the M.2 riser card and allows the SSDs to communicate with the server’s CPU and memory. The PCIe card supports PCIe 3.0 x4 lanes, which provide high-speed data transfer rates.
Benefits of the HPE M.2 Enablement Kit
The HPE M.2 Enablement Kit provides several benefits to users of HPE Cloudline servers. These benefits include:
- Increased storage capacity: The kit allows users to add up to four M.2 NVMe SSDs to their Cloudline servers, providing additional storage capacity for high-speed applications.
- High-speed data access: M.2 NVMe SSDs provide high-speed data access, allowing applications to read and write data quickly. This can improve application performance and reduce latency.
- Improved energy efficiency: M.2 NVMe SSDs consume less power than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), reducing energy costs and improving the server’s energy efficiency.
- Easy installation: The kit is easy to install, with clear instructions provided in the user manual. The PCIe card and M.2 riser card are designed to fit seamlessly into Cloudline servers, requiring minimal configuration.
Compatibility with Cloudline Servers
The HPE M.2 Enablement Kit is specifically designed for HPE Cloudline CL3100 Gen10 servers. It may not be compatible with other server models or brands. Users should check the compatibility of their server before purchasing the kit.
Installation Process of HPE M.2 Enablement Kit
The HPE M.2 Enablement Kit is designed to be easy to install, with minimal configuration required. The installation process involves the following steps:
- Shut down the server and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the server’s case and locate an available PCIe slot.
- Insert the PCIe card into the slot, making sure it is securely seated.
- Connect the M.2 riser card to the PCIe card using the provided cable.
- Install the M.2 NVMe SSDs onto the M.2 riser card.
- Close the server’s case and reconnect it to the power source.
- Power on the server and verify that the SSDs are detected by the server’s BIOS.
In Summary, The HPE M.2 Enablement Kit is a valuable addition to HPE Cloudline servers, providing users with increased storage capacity and high-speed data access. The kit is easy to install and requires minimal configuration, making it a cost-effective solution for users who need additional storage capacity. However, users should ensure that their server is compatible with the kit before purchasing it.
