10GbE iSCSI is the host connection on the E7W03A, the HP MSA 1040 2-port 10G iSCSI Dual Controller LFF Storage array. The package is a 12-bay LFF chassis plus two MSA 1040 10GbE 2-port controllers with SFPs installed, and direct attached copper cables are supported on these controllers.
Copper cable options include the HPE X242 10G SFP+ to SFP+ DAC cables J9281B (1m), J9283B (3m) and J9285B (7m), and the BladeSystem c-Class SFP+ cables 487649-B21 (0.5m), 487652-B21 (1m) and 487655-B21 (3m). Drives are not included: enterprise SAS drives cover heavy I/O work, while SAS MDL drives are for archival or reference data.
The array comes with 64 controller-based snapshots, and an optional license raises that to 512. Volume copy for both linear and virtual storage needs GL220 firmware or later. The M0S96A MSA 2040 Energy Star LFF Disk Enclosure is the LFF expansion unit, with up to three enclosures supported. Heat output is 1174 BTU/hr and the supply accepts 100 to 240 V ac at 50/60 Hz.
Drives for the bays are in HPE server hard drives, and the wider MSA range sits in HPE storage systems.
