ML110G7 - Add Hotswap PSU + HP - RPS G7 4U Enablement Kit

[petez69]

Hi ALL

I have the ML110G7 server and am wanting to put a bigger PSU into it to support 3 more disc drives in the 5.25" bays.  I am looking at the G7 enablement kit however its hard to work out if after installing the Enablement kit, can I still put 2 drives into the 5.25" bays ?

From the diagrams I've seen its hard to work out how long the kit is and what space there may or may not be between it and the pre-installed DVD drive.

This is the unit I want to put into the 5.25" bays

Anyone had experience with the Enablement kit ?

Thanks Pete

The hard drive cage is 4U form factor. If the unit referred to by you is 4U form factor, then it should be a fit. Refer to the unit’s documentation for further information.

Hi There...

The drive cage will fit into the 2x5.25" bays, thats not the issue.  What I'm concerned about is that after installing the hot-swap power supply upgrade, the upgrade utilises part of the bottom 5.25" bay....can you confirm....

I too am a HP employee but our documentation isnt clear :-)

Thankyou..Peter
