Quick Specs

With the BL460c If RAID is required when using the The HPE Smart Array B140i Controller , please choose HPE FIO B140i RAID Enable Kit – BIOS Setting (784308-B21).

The HPE FIO B140i RAID Enable Kit is designed to enable RAID functionality on select HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers. This kit includes a license key to activate the embedded B140i RAID controller on the server, allowing for the creation of RAID arrays for data protection and improved performance.The BIOS settings are necessary to configure the B140i RAID controller and enable RAID functionality. The specific BIOS settings required will vary depending on the server model and configuration. However, generally, you will need to enter the BIOS setup utility and navigate to the “System Options” or “Advanced Options” menu. From there, you will need to enable the B140i RAID controller and configure the RAID arrays as needed.It’s worth noting that the B140i RAID controller is embedded on the server’s system board and does not require any additional hardware. This makes it a cost-effective solution for small to mid-sized businesses that need RAID functionality but do not require the advanced features of a dedicated RAID controller.

This SW RAID Enable Kit works with:
B140i
S100i
