## Long description

HP Enterprise Smart Array P204i-c SR (804424-B21-RFB) is a server RAID controller card designed for Hewlett Packard Enterprise systems. The card provides hardware RAID offload over a PCIe interface to manage multiple drives, increase storage throughput, and improve I/O performance and data protection in small to medium server configurations. It is intended for integration into compatible HPE server platforms where a dedicated RAID controller is required for centralized drive management and redundancy.
Advantages
The controller offloads RAID processing from the host CPU, enabling more consistent I/O performance under load. With hardware RAID capabilities, the card centralizes drive management and provides standard RAID levels to support redundancy and data protection. PCIe connectivity ensures a direct high-bandwidth link to the server platform, and compatibility with HPE systems simplifies firmware and support integration. The design supports typical server storage configurations that need reliable RAID handling without relying solely on software RAID.
Suitable for
 Small and medium enterprise servers requiring hardware RAID management
 Systems needing improved storage I/O performance and reduced CPU overhead
 Environments that require centralized RAID configuration and standard redundancy levels
 HPE server platforms compatible with HP Enterprise Smart Array controllers
Key specifications
 Manufacturer: HP Enterprise
 Model: Smart Array P204i-c SR
 MPN: 804424-B21-RFB
 Interface: PCIe
 Function: Hardware RAID offload
 Category: I/O adapters and controllers
How to use
Install the card into an appropriate PCIe slot on a compatible HPE server following the server manufacturer's service manual and safety guidelines. After physical installation, power on the server and verify that the system BIOS/firmware recognizes the controller. Use HPE server management utilities or the Smart Array configuration utility to create and manage RAID arrays, assign logical volumes, and configure caching or rebuild policies as supported by the platform. Apply vendor-recommended firmware updates and drivers to ensure full compatibility and stable operation.
Usage recommendations
Use the controller in servers for which HPE lists compatibility; follow HPE firmware and driver update procedures and maintain backups before creating or modifying RAID arrays. Choose RAID levels and caching policies that match your performance and redundancy requirements, and monitor array health through HPE management tools.
