732352-B21 HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 Configure-to-order Expanded Storage Compute Module

The 732352-B21 is the HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 Configure-to-order Expanded Storage Compute Module, a two-socket, half-height module for the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame. It is the Synergy 480 Gen9 model that adds connection to HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module storage resources alongside its local drive bays.

That storage link needs two parts: the HPE Smart Array P542D (759557-B21) and a P542D SAS cable are required to support local drive bay and D3940 Storage Module connectivity on the same controller. The P542D is also what connects the module to storage resources in the D3940.

The Synergy 480 Gen9 module takes one or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors, identical in a module, with 24 DDR4 DIMM slots for RDIMM or LRDIMM memory (12 per processor, four channels each). Three x16 PCIe 3.0 I/O mezzanine connectors handle network and storage cards: connectors 1 and 3 need a processor in slot 1, and connector 2 needs a processor in slot 2. Network adapters are the HPE Synergy 3820C and 2820C 10/20 Gb converged network adapters, and the module has one front USB 3.0 port, one internal USB 3.0 port and a MicroSD slot.

The P542D controller is in the store as the 759557-B21 Smart Array P542D controller, and a later Synergy generation is the 871940-B21 Synergy 480 Gen10 compute module. More compute modules are in HPE server systems.
