StoreServ 20000 switching from SFF to LFF

[bkrg3]

Can I convert StoreServ 20000 SFF to LFF version? Can I buy somwhere the backplane and bays to convert it to LFF?

Hi bkrg3,

It is not easy to convert an HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 from SFF (Small Form Factor) to LFF (Large Form Factor).
A conversion between SFF and LFF typically requires significant hardware changes, including backplane and drive cage changes, since these systems are designed with unique configurations for drive bays and backplanes.
HPE does not generally offer a direct conversion kit to move between SFF and LFF on the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 series.
To accommodate LFF drives, you would likely need an LFF version of the system or an additional LFF chassis.

I recommend contacting HPE Tech support to get more information on the same.

Hope this helps.!

Regards,
Satish
