Chassis & Tray Options
HPE ProLiant XL270d Gen 10 Tray (P00392-B21)

The HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 Server's system tray, positioned beneath the GPU module, is a powerhouse of performance and flexibility. It supports two CPUs and 24 DIMMs, offering extensive computational and memory capacity. The XL270d system board includes a dedicated FlexibleLOM for customizable networking, internal M.2 drives for high-speed boot or cache storage, a Type-A Smart Array controller, and one PCIe slot for expansion. By default, the system features three SATA ports, enabling support for up to 12 SATA drives across two drive bays. For networking, it integrates four embedded 1GbE RJ-45 ports, ensuring robust connectivity for high-performance workloads.

Notes: 2x m.2 drives are supported

HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 M.2 Drives

The default S100i Controller uses 14 embedded SATA lanes, but only 12 lanes on 3 ports are accessible as 2 lanes are leveraged to support the 2 M.2 options on the primary riser. That primary riser is the HPE Apollo PCIe/SATA M.2 FIO Riser Kit (863661-B22).

Storage Controllers

The HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 Server comes with three SATA ports, which support up to 12 SATA drives across two drive bays. To use SAS drives, a Smart Array Adapter is required. HPE recommends installing the Type-A Adapter for this purpose, as it conserves the server's PCIe slot for other expansions, such as NVMe drives.

HPE Apollo 6500 Gen10 Type-A Storage Controllers
NVMe Drives

For NVMe storage, an NVMe Enablement Kit must be installed. This kit occupies the PCIe slot on the system tray and connects to the NVMe port on the tray. Additionally, the NVMe Midplane needs to be installed to provide the data path to the backplanes. The server supports a maximum of four NVMe drives, offering high-speed storage capabilities ideal for performance-intensive workloads.

    • For UEFI Boot mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured properly to support UEFI.
    • UEFI Factory Installed Options (FIO) setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in legacy mode in the factory for the HPE ProLiant Gen10 Server. A performance RAID Controller will be required for legacy mode.
  7. Performance RAID Controllers require the HPE Smart storage battery (P01367-B21) which is sold separately.
  8. For Linux users, HPE offers a solution that uses In-Distro Open-Source software to create a Two-Disk RAID 1 boot volume.

  9. Comes with the AHCI for embedded SATA support of up to 12 SATA Drives. The embedded SATA supports a total of 14 SATA Ports, but only 12 ports are accessible as 2 are leveraged to support the M.2 options.
  10. Hot-Plug fan functionality requires the use of the cable management feature of the rail kit, which will require the use of 1200 mm deep racks.
