Product Description
The HP 229198-001 is a critical component for the HP Modular Smart Array (MSA) 500 and MSA 1000 storage systems. This backplane board acts as the central hub for all hard drives installed within the array enclosure. It provides the necessary physical connections and electrical pathways for both data communication and power delivery to each individual drive bay. Its design is integral to the functionality of these storage solutions, enabling the array to present a unified pool of storage to connected servers. This backplane board is engineered to support the hot-swappable nature of the drives within the MSA systems. This means that drives can be added, removed, or replaced without interrupting the operation of the storage array or the connected servers, a vital feature for maintaining high availability in enterprise environments. The specific interface supported (SAS or SATA, depending on the exact MSA configuration and drive types used) ensures compatibility with the intended storage media. As an official HP part, the 229198-001 guarantees seamless integration and reliable performance within the MSA 500 and MSA 1000 platforms. It is essential for the proper functioning of the storage array, ensuring that all drives are recognized by the system and that data can be reliably transferred to and from the storage media. This board is a key element for maintaining, repairing, or configuring these HP storage solutions.
