Using both PCIe in a DL360G5

CG_2 — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 11:00:37 GMT

If I get a 416566-001, ProLiant DL360 G5 will both of these cards fit in it?

- - AE311A, StorageWorks FC1142SR (or the 2 port AE312A)
- - 381513-B21, Smart Array P800

I'm looking to have a 360 with both external SAS and FC (4GB QLogic) connectivity.
It seems like the FC card is low profile, but doesn't say it specifically. Does it come with 2 slot faces.

Thanks

Hi,

I think what you are asking is possible however the FC1142SR(AE311A) and FC1242(AE312A) don't appear to be low profile according to the images I have for them.

Please see attached file.

Perhaps HP provide a low profile conversion option kit for the cards.

According to the documentation @ http://docs.hp.com/en/9327/sw_ae311a_ad300a_ig.pdf, the AE311A is a low profile card. All you have to do is change the bracket on the card.

Joe,

Thanks, but the link doesn't work for me. I tried to find a doc before I posted my question, I'm glad you found something.

Joe's URL works for me, if I remove a comma from the end of the URL.

This URL should work:
