Upgrade Firmware DL580 Gen9

[King_haku]

I have a server Dl580 Gen9  running the windows server 2016 operating system
The version of System Rom is U17 2.30_09-12-2016
I purchased an additional HPE Smart Array P408e-p SR Gen10 card to connect to the HPE Disk Closure D3710.
The firmware version of HPE Smart Array P408e-p is 3.21
So, what version do I need to upgrade the System Rom to ensure compatibility with the HPE Smart Array P408e-p card?

Hope to get your help.

Hi,

Smart Array P408e-p SR Gen10 card is supported for HPE Gen10 servers and it is not supported for Gen9 servers. Please refer below Quick specs

Hi Had,

Thank you for your support.

The part number of HPE Smart Array P408e-p SR Gen10 is 804405-B21  (8 External Lanes/4GB Cache).

According to the information Sabensi shared, I also realized that the P408e-p SR Gen10 card is not supported for gen 9 servers.

Have a nice day!

Hi Sebasbin,

Thank you for your answer.

Have a good day.

According to the Quick Specs-HPE Smart Array P408e-p SR Gen10 Controller documentation, I also found the P408e-p card only supports gen 10 servers.

But I see a contradiction.

 In the DL580 Gen 9 documentation, the DL580 Gen 9 server supports the enclosure disk 3700 series. (page 31) https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=c04601208#

 In the D3700 Qickspecs document, the D3700 device only supports the Gen10 E208e-p and the P408e-p Smart Array SR controllers (page 04)
https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04227611&doctype=quickspecs&doclang=EN_US&searchquery=&cc=uk&lc=en#

So can the DL server connect to the 3710 Disk enclosure through the 408e-p card?

Or do we need to use another card?

Thanks/

But I realized, DL580 has support for D3700 enclosure.
https://h20195.www2.hpe.com/v2/getdocument.aspx?docname=c04601208# (page 31)

And the D3710 Enclosure only supports the Gen10 E208e-p and the P408e-p Smart Array SR controllers
