DL385 Gen10 8LFF using Mid Plane LFF and 6 x SFF

[BSilverthorn]

good morning, we have been attempting to build a DL385 Gen10 8LFF with the LFF Mid-Plane and 3  rear SFF Cages, OCA is limiting us to 2 SFF Cages. Is this not possible with the DL380/385 8 LFF or is OCA not working correctly for this request.

This is possible in Watson with the DL380 Gen10 8 LFFwith no Unbuildable Errors. Thanks

Hello!

Did you read quick spec for this server https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=a00026913enw&doctype=quickspecs&doclang=EN_US&searchquery=&cc=us&lc=en ?

Please, check if you choose second CPU and risers as options.

Thank you!

Hello Mr. Silverthorn,

In addition to my colleague his update I just can confirm like you said as well that this must be an issue with OCA; I checked watson as well and the 1 liner in the quickspecs give the exclusions as well: "NOTE: The 8 and 12 LFF chassis also supports the 2 SFF rear drive box which allows for the user to attach a secondary or tertiary riser".

I hope this clears it up.

Cheers, Jeroen
