Memory Options | 8TB
The HPE Apollo 2000 System has strict memory configuration requirements to ensure optimal performance and reliability. A minimum of 2 DIMMs is required per server, and mixing different DIMM types or installing DDR3 memory is not supported. Each server node supports up to 16 DIMMs, allowing for a total of 32 DIMMs in a 2-node 2U XL190r configuration or 64 DIMMs in a 4-node 1U XL170r configuration within the chassis. This design offers exceptional memory scalability, ideal for high-performance computing and data-intensive workloads. Proper memory configuration is crucial to leverage the full potential of the Apollo 2000's compute density and workload optimization.
Max Memory Capacity:
- Max 8TB, 2TB (16 x 128GB) Per Node
- 64 DIMMs in a 4-node 1U XL170r
- 2 DIMMs in a 2-node 2U XL190r
HPE Smart Storage Controllers
The HPE Apollo 2000 Gen9 systems support a range of storage controllers to meet diverse workload requirements. The embedded HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller offers basic RAID functionality in UEFI Boot Mode, ideal for entry-level setups. For advanced needs, upgradeable options include the HPE Smart Array P440/4GB and P840/4GB for internal SAS/SATA storage, and the P441/4GB for external SAS connectivity. Additionally, HPE H240 and H241 Smart HBAs provide internal and external storage flexibility.
Controllers are installed in PCIe riser slots with various assembly options, and proper cabling kits must be selected. For configurations using cache modules (FBWC), the HPE Smart Storage Battery ensures data integrity during power loss. Adhering to installation and thermal guidelines is crucial for optimal performance. These options make the Apollo 2000 Gen9 a scalable solution for both entry-level and high-density environments.
IMPORTANT: The HPE Apollo r2800 Chassis does not support nodes using the
HPE Dynamic Smart Array B140i Controller or the HPE P840 Smart Array Controller.
HPE Apollo 2000 Gen9 Plus PCI Risers
This is the Major Difference Between the Server Trays---
The 1U XL170r has only 3 options for Risers, a FlexlibleLOM riser or the normal right and left risers for the 1U Server Tray. This server supports Workload Accelerators but does not have any GPU Support.
The 2U XL190r server on the other hand has many different GPU’s it can support and most of them have their own special risers. Please look up the name of the risers to make sure it matches the GPU / Accelerator you are installing. We understand sometimes this part gets confusing. If you have any issues or questions please reach out to us.

Networking Abilities | FlexibleLOM
The HPE Apollo 2000 Gen 9 rack server offers unparalleled flexibility in network connectivity through its FlexibleLOM options. By installing a dedicated LOM riser (1U - 798180-B21 or 2U - 798184-B21), users can tailor network configurations to meet specific workload requirements. This innovative approach enables the seamless integration of various network technologies, including 1 Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and InfiniBand, within a single chassis. This flexibility empowers organizations to optimize network performance, scalability, and efficiency, ensuring that the Apollo 2000 can adapt to evolving business needs.
HPE Apollo 2000 Gen9 Cooling
The HPE Apollo 2000 Gen 9 rack server offers robust cooling capabilities to ensure optimal performance and reliability. The chassis is equipped with four high-efficiency, single-rotor fans for efficient airflow. To further enhance redundancy and cooling capacity, users can add an additional four fans (part number 800059-B21). This modular approach allows for flexible configuration based on specific cooling requirements. Additionally, the optional HPE Advanced Power Manager (HPE APM) provides advanced power management and monitoring, including fan speed control, to optimize energy efficiency and maintain optimal operating temperatures.
HPE Apollo 2000 Gen9 Rack Consolidation Module (RCM)
HP Apollo 2000 Rack Consolidation Module Kit (798211-B21) is an optional RCM (Rack Consolidation Management) module kit that allows iLO aggregation at the chassis level and also has the port for the HPE APM. The RCM Module consists of 2 iLO ports for redundancy. It can also be daisy-chained to connect to a Top of the Rack (TOR) management switch. If using the RCM module iLO port or the dedicated iLO management port module to connect to a network, the network must operate at a speed of 1Gb/s.
HPE Apollo Platform Manager Kit (APM)
The HPE Advanced Power Manager (APM) now called Apollo Platform Manager Kit (741192-B21) is an optional rack-level management solution designed to enhance power efficiency and simplify hardware management. It automatically discovers hardware components and provides server-level power control, including power on/off, server metering, dynamic power capping, and configurable power-up dependencies and sequencing. APM consolidates Ethernet access to all resident iLOs, supports asset management, and offers rack-level event logging, RADIUS authentication, and an integrated serial concentrator. Additional features include support for up to 11 local user accounts, a read-only service port, and compatibility with SNMP, SSH, Syslogd, and Telnet protocols.
Note: If using the RCM module iLO port or the dedicated iLO management port module to connect to a network, the network must operate at a speed of 1Gb/s.
NOTE: Each HPE APM can connect up to 10 chassis via consolidated chassis management cable
