Open Compute Project 3.0 (OCP)
The HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus Server includes a dedicated slot for an OCP 3.0 NIC adapter, offering enhanced networking capabilities in a compact form factor. For OCP cards requiring improved thermal conditions, the HPE OCP Thermal Enhancement Kit (P28727-B21) is mandatory. This kit ensures adequate cooling and optimal performance by integrating into the server's thermal architecture. When installed, the kit is positioned in the primary riser slot, directly above the OCP card, providing targeted airflow and maintaining thermal stability even under high workloads. This design allows seamless integration of high-performance OCP networking solutions while safeguarding system reliability.
M.2 Drive | 2 SATA or NVMe
HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device
(P12965-B21)
The HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device utilizes x2 PCIe Gen3 lanes with an x8 PCIe slot interface, offering a high-speed boot and storage solution. Designed for NVMe M.2 drives, it delivers exceptional performance, ensuring rapid OS loading and reduced boot times, making it ideal for applications requiring fast, reliable boot capabilities.

This half-height, half-length adapter card is compatible with standard SATA M.2 SSDs and integrates seamlessly into the system for expanded storage or secondary boot needs.
HPE Computation and Graphics Accelerators
Since this server is so dense and has so many options. When a GPU is installed, a lot of other features are not supported. Below is a list of rules and requirements that must be followed for this Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus server to support GPUs.
Limitations & Requirments - The Drive Cage 3 is not supported when this SKU is selected.
- This SKU can only be installed in PCIe Slot 6, 2nd processor is required.
- Processors over 165W are not supported when this SKU is selected.
- Memory DIMMs over 128GB are not supported.
- Intel DC Persistent Memory DIMMs are not supported.
- When GPU is installed, High-Performance Heat Sink Kits (P41668-B21) are required for processors
HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Plus Flex Slot your power!
All power supplies in a server should match. Mixing Power Supplies is not supported. HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen10 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
