HP DL380p Gen8 and PCIe SSD?

[amirabd2130]

Hey,

We decided to by a new server.

I looked everywhere and couldn't find any solid answer to this:

Does HP DL380p Gen8 support PCIe SSD? Is there a capacity limit?

I'm thinking of Intel DC P3600 400G PCIe SSD (2x).

Does DL380p support this? Can I boot the server using PCIe?

Please Help

Thanks

Amir

Hi,

Does HP DL380p Gen8 support PCIe SSD?

Few HP Servers do support the following technologies:

HP I/O Accelerator Options and HP PCIe Workload Accelerator Options.  Refer to QuickSpecs link below.

When we refer to this link at Intel:

http://ark.intel.com/products/80996/Intel-SSD-DC-P3600-Series-400GB-12-Height-PCIe-3_0-20nm-MLC#@compatibility

The compatibile server board's are S2600, where as DL380p Gen8 uses Intel C600 Series Chipset.

The HP PCIe Workload Accelerators are currently not supported as boot devices.

Cannot confirm if Intel DC P3600 400G PCIe SSD is compatible with HP Products.

Thank You!
