HP StorageWorks X1800 2U rack server

The HP StorageWorks X1800 AP792SB is a 2U rack-mount server system built around a single Intel Xeon E5530 processor running at 2.4 GHz. It ships with 6 GB of DDR3 memory configured as three 2 GB modules and supports expansion up to 32 GB. The platform targets small to medium organisations that need a Windows-based unified storage appliance for file, block and application workloads.

Dual Smart Array controllers

Two hardware RAID controllers are installed: a Smart Array P410i with 256 MB cache and a Smart Array P411 with 512 MB cache, both featuring battery-backed write cache. Eight 300 GB 10 K RPM dual-port SAS drives populate the front bays, providing 2.4 TB of raw capacity under hardware RAID. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports from dual NC382i controllers handle network connectivity while six PCIe slots remain available for additional I/O, although one slot is already occupied by the P411 controller.

SAS 6 Gbps interface and 750 W redundant power

The storage subsystem uses 6 Gbps SAS links, which limit maximum drive throughput to that signalling rate. The 750 W hot-plug redundant power supplies operate at 92 percent efficiency but fix the total power budget for all installed components. Memory expansion beyond the factory 6 GB requires compatible DDR3 modules and available DIMM slots, while the PCIe layout restricts further controller or network upgrades to the five remaining slots.

Questions about this item

What maintenance will the 750 W hot-plug redundant power supplies need over time?

The 750 W hot-plug redundant 92 % efficiency power supplies can be swapped without shutting down the 2U server, so only a failed module needs replacement.

Which limit appears first when the Smart Array P410i and P411 controllers run sustained write workloads?

The 256 MB and 512 MB BBWC cache on the P410i and P411 controllers will fill before the 300 GB 10 K SAS drives reach their throughput ceiling.

How much heat and noise do the dual Xeon E5530 CPUs and six PCIe slots produce in a 2U rack running all day?

Two 2.4 GHz Xeon E5530 processors and up to six PCIe cards draw up to 750 W, so the redundant fans move significant airflow and generate noticeable rack-level noise.
