HP ProLiant AMD-based 100-series G7 servers

 Advanced Capacity Expansion (ACE) automates higher capacity migration using capacity

transformation to remove logical drives by shrinking and then expanding them online. Standard

drive migration and expansion remain unchanged.

 Mirror Splitting and Recombining in Offline Mode breaks a RAID 1 configuration into two RAID 0

configurations. This is similar to a scaled down rollback functionality that requires two disk drives.

 Drive Erase completely erases physical disks or logical volumes. It is useful when decommissioning,

redeploying, or returning hard drives.

 Video On Demand Performance Optimization decreases latency and improves video streaming.

NOTE:

At a minimum, a 256 MB cache and battery kit is required to enable the

SAAP license key. SAAP is not available on Zero Memory Configurations.

Solid state drives

HP has introduced the second generation of solid state drives (SSD) for ProLiant servers. These solid

state drives are 3 Gb/s SATA interface in both 60GB and 120GB capacities. These drives, based on

NAND Single Level Cell flash technology, are implemented as SFF and LFF hot plug devices on the HP

universal drive carrier for general use across the ProLiant portfolio. They deliver higher performance,

lower latency, and low power solutions when compared with traditional rotating media.

You can use the HP second generation SSDs with the present generation Smart Array controllers

based on the PM8011 SRC MIPS processor on select ProLiant G6 and G7 servers. See the server

QuickSpecs to confirm that SSDs are supported.

Power and thermal technologies

HP engineers have developed a robust set of power and thermal technologies and components to

manage power within ProLiant 100-series G7 servers. The following technologies improve power

efficiency throughout the power delivery chain:

 Efficient power delivery

 Thermal sensors and fan control

 Processor management technologies

Administrators can disable certain components and capabilities within the ProLiant 100-series G7

servers or reduce capabilities to bring the components to a lower power state.

Efficient power delivery

With the exception of performance models, the ProLiant AMD DL165 G7 server is equipped with the

high-efficiency 500W multi-output power supply that improves performance-watt ratio. This power

supply is neither hot pluggable nor auto-switching. Common slot power supplies are an option in

those G7 models supporting the common slot architecture, including the DL165 G7 server. To see all

the power supply options offered with any HP server, consult the server QuickSpecs or go to the HP
