Technical white paper | HP Z840 Workstation
The details
Each drive cage module includes four drive carriers, a backplane printed circuit assembly, and two data signal cables.
The signal cables are pre-connected to the backplane and get routed and connected to the system board or an add-in
SAS adapter card. Once the signal cables are routed through the existing system drive cage, the drive cage modules
blind-mate or connect directly to the existing 3.5" bay signal/power connectors during installation. The existing four 3.5"
bay connectors provide power to all eight 2.5" drives and data signals to four 2.5" drives. The data signals for the other
four drives are established through the four signal cables provided with the drive cage modules. The port identication
on the four standard 3.5" bays is 0, 1, 2, and 3. With the high-density storage solution installed the bays/ports become
0A, 0B, 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, and 3B.
Conclusion
HP is excited to extend the leadership position of the Z840 Workstation. With the high-density storage solution, the
HP Z840 oers an unprecedented level of capability and congurability.
