## Summary description

The HPE H240ar Internal SAS Adapter is designed for server connectivity with a compact size of 90.4mm width, 134.6mm depth, and 31.2mm height. It features SAS output interface, ensuring reliable data transfer and performance for enterprise applications.

## Long description

The HPE H240ar Internal SAS Adapter 726757-B21 is a Flexible Smart SAS HBA designed for internal server storage connectivity on select HPE Gen9 servers. With a compact footprint of 90.4 mm x 134.6 mm and a low profile height of 31.2 mm, the adapter provides eight internal physical SAS links and supports 12 Gb/s SAS transfers. It accepts SAS and SATA devices including HDDs, SSDs and internal tape drives, and can operate either in standard HBA mode for direct device access or in a simple RAID mode offering RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 5. The adapter does not include cache acceleration or support for cache modules.
Advantages
The H240ar delivers cost-effective, reliable internal SAS connectivity when PCIe slot usage is limited. Its Flexible Smart SAS HBA form factor enables straightforward installation into compatible Flexible Smart Array & SAS HBA slots, while 12 Gb/s per link performance supports high-throughput access to internal drives. The dual operating modes (HBA and simple RAID) offer deployment flexibility for environments that need either raw device access or basic RAID-based data protection. Integration with HPE Smart Storage Administrator and server intelligent provisioning simplifies configuration and ongoing management.
Suitable for
Entry-level and mid-range HPE Gen9 servers requiring internal SAS connectivity
Environments needing simple RAID 0/1/5 protection without cache modules
Systems using internal HDDs, SSDs or internal tape drives
Deployments where PCIe slot availability is constrained

How to use
Install the HPE H240ar adapter into the server’s Flexible Smart Array & SAS HBA slot following the server manufacturer’s service manual and safety procedures. Connect the internal drive backplane or drive cables to the adapter’s internal SAS ports and power on the server. Use the HPE Smart Storage Administrator provided in the server’s intelligent provisioning environment to detect attached devices, choose operating mode (HBA or simple RAID), and configure RAID arrays if required. When using simple RAID mode, create RAID 0, RAID 1 or RAID 5 arrays through the management utility and verify array health and device status prior to production use.
Usage recommendations
Use the adapter with supported HPE Gen9 server models and ensure firmware and HPE Smart Storage Administrator software are up to date for best compatibility. For environments requiring write caching or advanced acceleration, select an HPE Smart Array controller that supports cache modules rather than the H240ar. Monitor SSD endurance and drive health via the SmartSSD Wear Gauge and HPE management tools to plan replacements and maintain performance.
