1. Hardware:
a. HighPoint Product:
SSD7000 Series, SSD7500 Series, SSD6200 Series, SSD6540 Series
b. Host Platform or External Device:
HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen Server
2. Compatibility Status:
Compatible (Boot & Data RAID)
3. Description:
The HPE ProLiant ML30 Server platform is capable of supporting HighPoint SSD7000 and SSD6200 series NVMe RAID controllers. SSD7500 series controllers can also be used with this platform, but will be unable to operate at full speed, as the systems only provides PCIe 3.0 connectivity. The SSD6540 series NVMe RAID enclosures utilize a PCIe Gen3 x16 NVMe HBA for external connectivity, which appear to be compatible with this platform. Note, the platform only provides a single PCIe 3.0 x16 (electrical) slot, so would be unable to support Cross-Sync RAID configurations.
The current motherboards used by ML30 workstations utilize the Intel C642 chipset (Intel 600 based systems are known to be compatible with HighPoint NVME products). The motherboard BIOS includes UEFI support, and provides option ROM settings for UEFI and legacy devices.
4. Compatibility Details:
a. PCIe Host Interface:
The HPE ProLiant ML30 server platform utilizes a PCIe Gen3 (PCIe 3.0) host interface, and provides a single (x1) PCIe 3.0 x16 (x16 electrical) slot:
