One energy pack option can support multiple devices. An energy pack option is required for P-class
Smart Array controllers. Once installed, the status of the energy pack displays in HPE iLO. For more
information, see the HPE iLO user guide on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://

• HPE Smart Storage MR controllers
A single 96W battery can support up to 24 devices.
After the battery is installed, it might take up to two hours to charge. Controller features requiring backup
power are not re-enabled until the battery is capable of supporting the backup power.
HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor
The HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor supports the following devices:
• HPE Smart Storage SR controllers

The capacitor pack can support up to three devices or 600 joules.
Before installing the HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor, verify that the system BIOS meets the
minimum firmware requirements to support the capacitor pack.

firmware versions, the capacitor pack will only support one device.
