The MR (MegaRAID) and SR (SmartRAID) controller families use different management tools and cannot be installed together in the same server. When paired with a tri-mode U.3 backplane, both series support SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, allowing mixed drive types in one system. This server has no built-in software RAID. Direct-attached SATA drives run in AHCI mode only, so a hardware RAID controller is required for any RAID functionality.
SR Series (SmartRAID)
SR Series
Installation Service Manual
The SR series is the high-end controller line, only available in type-p PCIe form factor.
This is the go-to choice for high drive count configurations or maximum storage throughput. Like the cached MR controllers it requires a battery or capacitor for cache protection.
MR Series (MegaRAID) - View PDF
MR Series
Installation Service Manual
The MR series is the broader, more flexible controller line available in both type-o and type-p form factors.
The cached models (MR408i-o, MR416i-o, MR416i-p) add a Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC)
Choosing Between MR and SR
- All HPE MRxxx RAID controllers support SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives
- Need OCP slot deployment → MR type-o only
- Simple RAID, no cache needed → MR216i-o or MR216i-p
- Need cache, moderate drive count → MR408i-o or MR416i-o/p
- Maximum drive count or throughput → MR932i-p
- External SAS/SATA storage → E208e-p (Gen10, type-p, external only)
Every DL325 Gen12 starts with a rear OCP 3.0 Slot A (x16). Use the kits below when you need a second rear OCP path or front OCP in SFF/EDSFF Box 3:
- P81908-B21 — OCP Slot B x8 Enablement: turns on the second rear OCP slot (Slot B) at x8. Choose this when you want two rear OCP NICs and are not moving OCP to the front.
- P82200-B21 — Front Primary OCP: routes OCP Slot B to the front Primary OCP bay in Box 3 (SFF/EDSFF chassis). Use when the primary NIC should sit at the front of the server.
- P82201-B21 — Front Secondary OCP: routes OCP Slot A to the front Secondary OCP bay in Box 3. Use with (or after) Front Primary when you need a second front OCP NIC.
- Shared NIC / Wake-on-LAN: if you rely on shared-NIC or WOL through iLO, keep at least one supported OCP Ethernet in a rear or front OCP bay and follow the QuickSpecs Expansion Slots shared-NIC notes — do not leave the server with no OCP networking if that feature is required.

- Slot 2 PCIe 5.0 x16 riser is standard on every CTO.
-
Slot 1 (optional): LP
P81926-B21or FHP81927-B21. - Rear NS204i-u boot device needs the LP Slot 1 riser.
- GPU CTO P84204-B21 adds front PCIe Slots 3–6 (GPU cage only).
- AMD cap: 112 GB/s per pair (Slot3+OCP A, Slot4+Slot2, Slot6+Slot1, Slot5+OCP B).

FH Slot 1 RiserP81927-B21
- Up to 4 single-width or 2 double-width GPUs (card limits apply).
- 8SFF / 4LFF / SFF·EDSFF CTO: rear only, max 2 GPUs.
- GPU CTO P84204-B21: front GPU cage, max 4 GPUs; no front OCP or Universal Media Bay.
- GPU CTO: closed-loop liquid heatsink not allowed; CPU >300W needs Direct Liquid Cooling.
- Use the QS GPU thermal table for ambient / heatsink / fan requirements.
