HPE 836267-001 E208e-p SR G10 Controller

HPE 836267-001 Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 Controller

The HPE 836267-001 is a replacement Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 RAID controller for connecting compatible HPE ProLiant servers to external SAS storage. It provides eight external SAS lanes through two Mini-SAS HD connectors and supports SAS transfer rates of up to 12Gb/s.

Designed as a standard PCIe plug-in card, this controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 without dedicated cache memory. It is a practical option for businesses maintaining existing external storage enclosures or replacing a failed E208e-p controller.

Technical Specifications

External Storage Connectivity for Gen10 Servers

The E208e-p is intended for external storage rather than internal server drive bays. Its two Mini-SAS HD ports provide connections to compatible disk enclosures using the appropriate external SAS cables.

HPE lists several supported external storage platforms, including:

• HPE D3610 Disk Enclosure
• HPE D3710 Disk Enclosure
• HPE D6020 Disk Enclosure
• Selected HPE MSA 1040, 1050, 2040 and 2050 storage configurations

Enclosure support depends on the specific storage configuration, firmware and connection requirements. Confirm compatibility before ordering, especially when connecting an existing MSA system.

RAID and HBA Options

The HPE 836267-001 supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for compatible external drives. It also offers Mixed Mode, allowing RAID logical drives and physical drives operating in HBA mode to be used simultaneously.

Because the E208e-p is a cacheless controller, it does not provide dedicated flash-backed write cache. Businesses requiring a cached external RAID controller should assess a compatible alternative, such as the Smart Array P408e-p.

RAID redundancy can help maintain storage availability, but it does not replace regular backups.

Server Compatibility and Installation

HPE documents E208e-p support for selected ProLiant Gen10 servers, including DL360 Gen10, DL380 Gen10, DL560 Gen10, DL580 Gen10, ML110 Gen10 and ML350 Gen10 models.

The controller requires a suitable PCIe expansion slot. Unlike the E208i-a modular controller, it does not install into a dedicated Type-a storage controller slot.

Before replacing your controller, check the server’s supported hardware list, PCIe slot availability, controller firmware and external SAS cables. The E208e-p uses external Mini-SAS HD connectors, so cables intended for older Mini-SAS interfaces may not fit.

New and Refurbished HPE 836267-001

New Controller

A New or unused HPE 836267-001 may be suitable for planned maintenance or replacement stock in an existing Gen10 environment. As this is an older controller generation, confirm whether unused legacy stock is available and which accessories are supplied.

Refurbished Controller

A Refurbished E208e-p controller can provide a cost-conscious way to maintain existing external storage systems. Before ordering, ask whether the card has been inspected and tested for controller detection and external SAS connectivity.

For both conditions, confirm the supplied PCIe bracket, warranty terms and UK delivery arrangements.
