Product Description
The HP C8R10AC1 is the Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis for the HP StorageWorks MSA 2040 storage array. This chassis is the foundational component that houses the drive backplane and provides the physical structure for the storage system. It is designed to accommodate 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, offering a dense storage solution for environments that require high performance and capacity within a compact footprint. This specific part number, C8R10AC1, denotes the chassis itself and explicitly states that it does not include rack ears ('No Ears'). This means that while the chassis is designed for rack mounting, the necessary mounting hardware (ears) must be sourced separately or may have been included with other components of the MSA 2040 system. The chassis is engineered to work seamlessly with the MSA 2040 storage controllers, which are typically purchased separately and provide the intelligence and connectivity for the storage array. The MSA 2040 platform is known for its balance of performance, scalability, and affordability, making it a popular choice for small to medium-sized businesses. The SFF chassis allows for a higher density of drives compared to larger form factor chassis, enabling more raw storage capacity within a single rack unit. This component is essential for building or expanding an HP MSA 2040 storage solution.
