Controller Types
MegaRAID
These controllers are based on Broadcom's MegaRAID technology. They offer high performance with up to 13,700 MB/s bandwidth, 3 million random read IOPS, and 240,000 RAID5 random write IOPS. Support for PCIe Gen 4.0 enables these adapters to deliver twice the bandwidth and 75% more IOPS compared to previous generations. Managment is through the HPE MR Storage Administrator (MRSA) for GUI-based management and StorCLI for command-line interface management.
Key Features: - Tri-Mode support for NVMe, SAS, and SATA devices.
- Hardware-based Root of Trust for firmware authentication.
- Support for Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) to ensure data-at-rest protection.
- Mixed Mode operation, allowing RAID and HBA (Host Bus Adapter) functionalities simultaneously.
SmartRAID
These controllers are based on Microchip's SmartRAID technology. They support 12 Gb/s SAS and PCIe 4.0, providing increased performance while supporting advanced RAID levels with up to 8 GB flash-backed write cache (FBWC). Management is through the HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) for GUI-based management and SSACLI for command-line interface management.
Key Features: - Tri-Mode support for NVMe, SAS, and SATA devices.
- Support for HPE SmartRAID SR Secure Encryption for data-at-rest using Controller-Based Encryption (CBE) for SAS, SATA, and NVMe devices.
- Mixed Mode operation, allowing RAID and HBA functionalities simultaneously.
- Advanced RAID levels with up to 8 GB FBWC.
HPE Smart Array Controllers
hese are traditional RAID controllers that manage SAS and SATA drives, providing data protection and performance optimization through various RAID levels. They are widely used in HPE servers for reliable storage management.
HPE Flexible Smart Array Controllers
A subset of Smart Array Controllers, these are designed to be modular and do not occupy a PCIe slot in your server. They are compatible with a variety of storage media, including SAS and SATA hard drives, SSDs, and NVMe drives. This flexibility allows for efficient use of server resources and adaptability to different storage requirements.
HPE Tri-Mode Array Controllers
These advanced controllers support SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives simultaneously, offering greater flexibility and performance. They are ideal for environments that require a mix of different storage types, enabling seamless integration and management.
HPE Flexible Tri-Mode Array Controllers
Combining the modular design of Flexible Smart Array Controllers with the versatility of Tri-Mode support, these controllers manage SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives without occupying a PCIe slot. This design maximizes server expansion capabilities and provides a comprehensive storage solution.
HPE DL360 Gen10 M.2 Drives
Below are the 3 ways to install M.2 Drives on the DL360 Gen10 Plus Rack Server by HPE.
NVMe Boot Devices are only supported in UEFI mode.
HPE DL36X Gen10 Plus x16/x8 M.2 NS204i-r Riser (P26463-B21)
HPE NS204i-p NVMe PCIe3 OS Boot Device (P12965-B21)
HPE Universal SATA AIC HHHL M.2 SSD Kit (878783-B21)
For any major release beyond VMware ESXi 7.x, VMware will require M.2 or another local persistent device as the standalone boot option.
HPE DL360 Gen10 PCI Risers
The DL360 Gen10 Plus Rack Server has 2 riser cages and 3 PCIe slots. The first riser cage is a butterfly riser composed of Slots 1 and 2. The secondary slot can only be installed on a 2P configuration and rules apply to the Full Height Secondary Riser when installed.
When the Secondary Riser Full Height Kit is installed, the primary PCIe Slot #2 cannot be used. Only 2 full height slots are supported. Also, when a second full-height card is installed on slots 2 or 3, then an LH storage controller (low-profile heatsink) should be ordered to allow it to fit in the server.

HPE DL360 Gen10 GPU / Workload Accelerator
All x16 PCIe Slots support GPU’s, The default primary Riser (P31228-001) and the secondary GPU riser (P26467-B21) have power slots on the riser.
If the secondary GPU riser is installed and you have a Flexible Storage Controller installed. You must make sure the Flexible Storage Controller is an LH Controller. Otherwise, the card will be touching the controller and they won’t fit.
OCP 3.0 - Network Choice (NC) Server
A Network Choice (NC) Server means the server does not have an embedded Network card. So, you have the choice of either an OCP 3.0 or a Stand-in PCI Card.
For the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus Rack Server, support for the OCP 3.0 card is limited. While the OCP 3.0 card provides an additional x8 PCIe 4.0 lanes to the OCP slot, it achieves this by utilizing unused connections from the AROC (Accelerated RAID-on-Chip) connectors, specifically in configurations without Flexible Storage controllers.
However, the OCP 3.0 card cannot be used with either the Smart Array-NVMe Adapter Kit (P38585-B21) or any Flexible Storage Controllers. These devices and the OCP 3.0 card share the same Type-A slot on the system board, which means only one can be installed at a time. The OCP 3.0 card uses this slot to supply the necessary x8 PCIe lanes to the OCP port, thereby making it incompatible with the Smart Array-NVMe Adapter Kit and Flexible Storage Controllers that would otherwise occupy this slot.
HPE DL360 Gen10 Cooling
The CTO server includes 5 standard fans. Dual processor configurations require 7 fans, either standard or high performance (dependent on processor model).
DIMM blanks kit (P07818-B21) is recommended with processor TDPs ranging from 150W to 225W and is required by processors that are 140W and below as well as 230W and above. This DIMM Blank kit acts as enhanced cooling not only for the processors but also for the Intel Optane 512GB persistent memory 200 Series for HPE (P23538-B21) as well.
The options below all require the High-Performance Fan Kit (P26477-B21) which comes with 7 fans.
- Processors with TDP equal to or greater than 205W
- Intel Optane 512GB persistent memory 200 Series for HPE (P23538-B21)

HPE DL360 Gen10 Flex Slot your power!
Mixing of 2 different 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 Plus 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.
