## Long description

The HP HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 is an internal modular server RAID controller designed for HPE ProLiant DL360, DL380 and ML350 Gen10/Gen10+ platforms. It provides 12G SAS connectivity across eight internal lanes and includes 2 GB of battery-backed cache to support sustained write performance and hardware-assisted RAID management. The controller supports multiple RAID levels and is intended to accelerate storage I/O, increase data protection and enable efficient storage configurations in virtualization and enterprise server environments.
Advantages
The Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 offers hardware RAID offload that reduces CPU overhead and improves application responsiveness. With 12G SAS throughput and eight internal lanes, it enables higher aggregate bandwidth to connected drives compared with older SAS generations. The integrated 2 GB cache with battery backup helps protect write data during power interruptions and improves sustained write performance for mixed workloads. The modular form factor fits directly into supported HPE ProLiant servers, simplifying installation and integration into existing server infrastructure.
Suitable for
 Enterprise virtualization hosts and hyperconverged nodes
 Database servers with mixed read/write workloads
 File and block storage servers requiring hardware RAID
 Server refreshes and maintenance of HPE Gen10 / Gen10+ systems
Key specifications
 Interface: 12G SAS internal connectivity
 Host lanes: 8 internal lanes for direct connection to server backplanes
 Cache: 2 GB battery-backed cache for write protection and performance
 Form factor: Modular internal RAID controller for compatible HPE ProLiant servers
 Supported RAID levels: Hardware RAID with support for common RAID levels (device-managed on controller)
 Target systems: Designed for installation in specific Gen10 and Gen10+ ProLiant server models
How to use
Install the controller into the designated modular slot or mezzanine bay of a compatible HPE ProLiant DL360, DL380 or ML350 Gen10/Gen10+ server following the server manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Connect drive backplanes or drive cages to the controller using the server’s internal SAS connectors. Configure RAID arrays using the server management utilities or the controller’s firmware interface during POST or via the server management software after boot. Ensure the battery-backed cache is recognized and charged before placing production workloads on newly configured arrays.
Usage recommendations
Use the controller in systems with supported server firmware and driver versions, apply vendor-recommended firmware updates, and monitor cache health and battery status regularly. Choose RAID levels appropriate to the workload—prioritize redundancy for critical data and balance performance and capacity for mixed workloads. For best results in virtualization and database scenarios, combine the controller with enterprise-class SAS drives or NVMe devices where supported by the server backplane.
