HP Smart Array P408i-p SR Gen10 Controller
This PCIe 3.0 x8 RAID controller is built for HP ProLiant Gen10 servers that need hardware-accelerated storage management. It serves administrators running virtualization clusters, database engines or other I/O-intensive workloads where data protection and uptime are mandatory. The low-profile form factor suits both standard and compact chassis.
Sustained load behaviour
With a 12Gb/s SAS interface the card maintains high throughput during continuous mixed read and write streams typical of virtualised environments. Broad RAID level support lets the array rebuild without sacrificing foreground performance. Integrated management through HPE Smart Storage Administrator provides live monitoring so bottlenecks are visible before they affect service levels.
Installation and common issues
The controller seats in any PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and is recognised automatically by Gen10 firmware when the server is powered on. Most deployment problems come from mixing SAS and SATA drives in the same logical array or from using cables that do not meet 12Gb/s specifications. Firmware should be aligned with the server's System ROM before creating volumes.

Questions about this item
Does the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface generate noticeable heat under continuous workloads?
The low-profile design fits standard and compact server chassis, allowing normal airflow to manage heat during sustained operation.
What server chassis and power connections are required to install the 836269-001 card?
It is optimized for HP ProLiant Gen10 servers and uses a standard PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot; no extra power cables are needed.
Will the 12Gb/s SAS controller work with older 6Gb/s SAS or SATA drives I already own?
Yes, it is compatible with SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs, so existing 6Gb/s drives will function at their rated speed.
