To ensure only valid configurations are ordered, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends the use of an HPE approved configurator. Contact your local sales representative for information on configurable product offerings and requirements.
Factory Integrated Models must start with a CTO Server. FIO indicates that this option is only available as a factory installable option. All Factory Integrated Models will be populated with sufficient hard drive blanks based on the number of initial hard drives ordered with the server. Some options may not be integrated at the factory. Contact your local sales representative for additional information.
Notes:
- To yield a carrier grade server that is compliant with all the required technical criteria, the product content is limited to what is listed in this document. In addition to this, the system maintenance switch #10 must be turned to the "ON" position to enable the expanded operating temperature range and hardware from the following kits MUST be installed:
- HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 Secondary NEBS-compliant FIO Riser Kit (P65830-B21)
