- RAID support – 0/1/5/10.

- RAID setting cannot be factory ordered/configured for use with Intel VROC SATA as Intel VROC SATA must be enabled in BIOS by customer.

- Intel VROC SATA does not support RAID volume creation with different form factors of drives (e.g., SFF + M.2)

- Intel VROC SATA RAID supports Windows Server and Linux, but does not support VMware.

- Intel VROC SATA will operate in UEFI mode, Windows OS environment, and Linux OS environment.

- Both Intel® Xeon® E processors and Intel® Pentium® processors support Intel® VROC SATA Raid.

- See HPE Support Center for additional information regarding installation of Intel® VROC (SATA RAID): Enabling Intel VROC (SATA RAID) for SATA or sSATA on BIOS/Platform configuration (RBSU)

• Windows Edition
• VMware Edition
• Linux Edition

- Intel VROC SATA RAID cannot be created in Intelligent Provisioning. It must be installed manually.

- Intel VROC requires the server boot mode to be set to UEFI Mode.

- Obtain the Intel VROC downloads (drivers, GUI) specific for your system OS. For direct download links, see the OS-specific VROC guide: https://www.hpe.com/support/IntelVROC-Gen10Plus-docs

- Intel VROC supports RAID management though the following tools:

HPE Entry-Level Power Supplies provide lower-cost options for customers trying to balance their need for enterprise class efficiency and reliability while maintaining lowest possible hardware costs.  All Entry-Level power supply options have been designed specifically for HPE ProLiant Gen10 & Gen10 Plus Essential Series servers.

The HPE 350W FIO Power Supply is the standard, non-redundant AC power supply option for most HPE ProLiant Gen10 & Gen10 Plus Essential servers. It features Gold-level (92%) and Platinum-level (94%) certified power efficiency with a set of features optimized for the Gen10 Plus Essential-series tower servers.

HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen10 Plus Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.

All pre-configured servers ship standard with one or more country-specific 6 ft/1.83m C-13 power cords depending on regions. If a different power cord is required, please check the HPE Power Cords and Cables web page.

To review the power requirements for your selected system, please use the HPE Power Advisor Tool.
