A 24-bay SFF chassis and two 10GbE iSCSI controllers make up the E7W04A, the HP MSA 1040 2-port 10G iSCSI Dual Controller SFF Storage array. SFPs are installed, direct attached copper cables are supported, and drives have to be ordered separately.
Expansion units for the SFF chassis include the Q1J07A MSA 2050 SFF Disk Enclosure, which needs GL225 firmware or later, and the HP D2700 Disk Enclosure AJ941A with twenty five 2.5-inch bays. Up to three enclosures can be added, which brings the array to 99 SFF drives, and drive counts per RAID set are capped at 16 for RAID 0, 3, 5, 6 and 10.
Host operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 and 2016, VMware, Red Hat Linux, SuSE SLES, Solaris and OpenVMS, subject to a SPOCK check. The SFF chassis weighs 29.1 lb without controllers, and each controller weighs 4.8 lb. Typical power use is 343 W at 110 V ac.
Drive options for the array are gathered in HPE server hard drives, while other arrays for the MSA family are in HPE storage systems.
