C8R13A is the HPE MSA 2040 LFF DC-power chassis, a controller-less 2U chassis that holds up to twelve 3.5-inch large form factor drives and runs from DC power. Its 500 watt power supply is rated for -40VDC to -75VDC input, and the two empty bays at the back are for MSA 2040 controllers.
The chassis will accept one or two MSA 2040 SAN controllers (C8R09A) or MSA 2040 SAS controllers (C8S53A). A SAN controller works with 8Gb FC, 16Gb FC, 1GbE iSCSI or 10GbE iSCSI SFPs, while a SAS controller has four mini-SAS HD ports for 6Gb and 12Gb SAS hosts, with cables bought separately.
LFF drives for MSA 2040 arrays are 12G SAS 7.2K Midline models, including the K2Q82A 4TB drive, the J9F43A 6TB drive, the M0S90A 8TB and the P9M82A 10TB, plus converter-carrier SSDs such as the P9M79A 400GB. The MSA 2040 LFF disk enclosure, M0S96A, adds twelve more 3.5-inch bays.
Dimensions for the LFF 12-bay array are 3.5 in (8.9 cm) high, 17.6 in (44.7 cm) wide and 22.5 in (57.2 cm) deep from the back of the ear to the back of the controller handle. The DC-power LFF chassis weighs 32.6 lbs without controllers. The SFF DC-power chassis is the C8R11A. More array parts are in HPE storage systems.
