The H240ar is HPE's Smart HBA for the Gen9 modular controller slot: 8 lanes of 12 Gb\/s SAS and no cache. It is a pass-through HBA for software-defined storage, not a cached RAID controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e749997-001\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCache\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInterface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 Gb\/s SAS, 6 Gb\/s SATA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInternal ports\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 lanes, 2x x4 ports\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHost interface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePCIe 3.0 x8 via system board\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eForm factor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ear modular (Flexible Smart HBA)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRAID levels\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHBA mode; simple RAID 0, 1, 5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCondition\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRefurbished\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e180-day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe H240ar mounts on the system board's modular connector and does not use a PCIe slot; it will not fit a standard PCIe slot. That connector takes one controller, so the H240ar replaces a P440ar or P840ar rather than joining one. It has no cache and needs no Smart Storage Battery. Drive cables usually stay with the chassis. Gen10 servers moved to type-a controllers, where the E208i-a fills the same role.

Its simple RAID 0, 1 and 5 mode runs without cache, fine for a boot mirror but not for production parity arrays. For hardware RAID 5 or 6 with write-back cache, the P440ar with 2 GB FBWC is the right card.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet HBA mode in HPE Smart Storage Administrator so every drive reaches the OS directly, and bring firmware to a current Gen9 Service Pack for ProLiant baseline before building the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery part we sell is tested and covered by our 180-day warranty.
