HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Base Knowledge
The Apollo 4200 has two rows of drives, one behind the other. This system will appear to have 12 LFF or 24 SFF drives. But with two rows of drives, the chassis actually holds 24LFF or 48SFF. The mixing of the drive form factor is not supported. The front 2 drive bay have to be the same (all SFF or all LFF). This Apollo 4200 Gen10 supports rear drive options. The Rear Drive Cages are 4 LFF Drives (only on the 24LFF chassis) or 6 SFF NVMe SSD, 6 SFF SAS/SATA, and the last option provides Dual FHHL PCIe Slots. The 2 SFF 2 FHHL Riser kit, when this kit is installed, you'll also need the HPE Apollo 4200 P824i-p Enablement Kit (P11274-B21).
This Chassis holds 1 HPE ProLiant XL420 Gen10 motherboard. This motherboard holds 2 Processors Mixing of 2 different processor models is NOT allowed The Apollo 4200 Gen10 has up to 16 DIMM Slots on a two-socket configuration. The motherboard can support HPE Persistent Memory featuring Intel® Optane™ DC persistent memory. This memory is only supported with select 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable Series. Mixing RDIMM and LRDIMM memory is not supported.
If any of the rear drive cages are installed, you will need to also install one of the following storage controllers. HPE 2nd Cage FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (813546-B21), HPE Software RAID FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (P09655-B21), or HPE Smart Array E/P SR FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (P09656-B21).
Finally, if you install the 6SFF SAS/SATA Rear drive cage you must install the HPE Smart Array E/P SR FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (P09656-B21).

HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 NVMe Drives
If you install the rear drive cage for the 6 NVMe drives. You will also need a card that can support these drives. HPE NVMe CPU2 x6 FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (P09657-B21) or HPE NVMe CPU1 x4/CPU2 x2 FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (P09658-B21). When no controller mode is selected, all 6 SFF NVMe will be connected to processor 1 through PCIe slot 2. When HPE NVMe CPU2 x6 FIO Controller Mode for Rear Storage (P09657-B21) is selected, all 6 SFF NVMe SSDs will be connected to processor 2 through PCIe slot 6.
HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 PCI Risers
There are 7 Total PCIe slots but Slots 4 and 5 are only available with the rear riser cage installed (P07248-B21). This Riser cage will provide 2 extra SFFs and 2 FHHL PCIe slots. When this Riser cage is installed PCIe slot 2 will not be available. This slot is where the riser cage sits.
There are a few more rear drive options, read the section above or take a peek at the Specs Manual below for more details.

HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Cooling
10 system fans shipped as standard. If the Rear NVMe drive cage is installed. 4 Extra fans will come with that kit and be installed in the rear.
HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 Flex Slot your power!
Mixing of 2 different power supplies is NOT allowed.
HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen10 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
