HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus v2 upgrade

On my previous video where I done a side-by-side comparison, I gathered all parts to do an upgrade just like the previous version of the HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus Server.

The following parts I use to install into the Server:
  • CPU = Xeon E-2378 @2.60GHz (8 Cores/16 Thread) 65w
  • Memory 1 = Global Memory 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC UDIMM
  • Memory 2 = Global Memory 32GB DDR4-2666 ECC UDIMM
  • PCI-E = NVIDIA GeForce 210 512MB GDDR3
  • ILO Slot = iLO Enablement Kit (P13788-B21)
  • HDD Slot 1 = Western Digital Red 500GB SSD
  • HDD Slot 2 = Western Digital Red 4TB NAS Drive
  • HDD Slot 3 = Western Digital Red 4TB NAS Drive
  • HDD Slot 4 = Western Digital Red 2TB SSD
  • Hard Drive Caddy 2.5 to 3.5 Adaptor (HP 654540-001)
This time I decide to replace the previous SSD and one of the 4TB Hard Drive with both Western Digital Red 500GB and 2TB Red because the 500GB Red is for the Windows OD Drive and the 2TB is for the Hyper-V. I thought about 4TB SSD but it may not work.


I did mention in the video that since this MicroServer can only Support 4TB NAS Hard Drive, I will purchase a 6TB and 8TB Western Digital Red plus NAS Hard Drive to see how if this works. If it does I will post and confirm it.
