Description

HPE P78279-B21 NVMe Boot Device

Overview

The HPE NS204i-U V2 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Option Device, model P78279-B21, is designed to provide a high-performance, bootable storage solution for HPE ProLiant servers. It utilizes NVMe technology to deliver significantly faster boot times and operating system responsiveness compared to traditional SATA or SAS boot drives. This device is ideal for environments where rapid system startup and OS performance are critical, such as VDI, server virtualization, or high-transaction databases.

Compatibility

This boot device is compatible with a range of HPE ProLiant servers, including but not limited to: ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus, DL380 Gen10 Plus, DL360 Gen11, DL380 Gen11, ML30 Gen10 Plus, ML350 Gen10 Plus, ML350 Gen11, and MicroServer Gen10 Plus. It requires a dedicated NVMe U.2 bay or a specific adapter for installation. Always verify compatibility with your specific server model's QuickSpecs document.

Installation Notes

The P78279-B21 is a hot-plug device, meaning it can be installed or removed while the server is running, provided the server chassis and operating system support hot-plug NVMe drives. Ensure the server's BIOS/UEFI is updated to the latest version to recognize the device. Proper physical installation involves seating the NVMe drive securely into the designated bay and ensuring the hot-plug mechanism engages correctly. No external power connection is required; it draws power directly from the server's backplane.
