HPE H55VWA50BD0 DL360 G11 Storage Server FOR DP Supp

Overview

The HPE H55VWA50BD0 is a specific storage server component designed for the DL360 G11 platform, intended to provide dedicated storage support within a rackmount server environment. Its primary function is to enhance the data handling capabilities of the server, crucial for applications requiring high-density storage, such as video surveillance recorders or large data aggregation points. This unit supports PoE+ (802.3at) power, simplifying integration by allowing it to draw power and potentially data over a single Ethernet cable, provided the switch infrastructure supports this standard. Its rack mount type ensures it fits seamlessly into standard data center or server room racks.

Compatibility

This storage server component, model H55VWA50BD0, is specifically engineered for the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server chassis. Compatibility is limited to this exact server generation and model. It is not designed for use with other HPE server lines or third-party server hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation requires opening the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 chassis and seating the H55VWA50BD0 component into its designated slot. Ensure the server's power supply unit is capable of supporting the additional load of PoE+ (802.3at), which typically draws up to 25.5W per port. A compatible PoE+ capable switch is required if the unit is to receive power over Ethernet. Consult the HPE DL360 G11 server documentation for detailed installation procedures and power budget considerations.
