Note the red SFF-8087 cable that will provide four additional SATA III connections in the ODD bay area. The RR2720 is shown in Figure 4 installed on the N54L System Board. In Figure 3 I have replaced the standard size bracket on the RR2720 with the low profile bracket that was included in the box with the RR2720.įigure 4- The Highpoint RocketRAID 2720 SGL installed onto the N54L System Board The System Board power connector is long enough that I didn’t need to disconnect it.įigure 3- The low profile bracket installed
In Figure 2 the System Board has been removed from the MicroServer and the RR2720 box is ready to unpack. The HP MicroServer Self Repair Videos are another excellent resource to study before working on the MicroServer – links to them are available at “ Useful MicroServer Links & Reference”.įigure 2- The HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL being prepared for installation The HP ProLiant MicroServer Maintenance and Service Guide and various other User Guides can be found at and are a valuable reference when adding or removing devices on the MicroServer.

On previous MicroServers it had been my experience that the Mini SAS Cable connector was very difficult to remove from the System Board - requiring the “working over” of a very small screwdriver to free it up. One early, pleasant, surprise was the ease that the Mini SAS Cable could be detached from the System Board shown in Figure 1.

Later, during installation of the RR2720 I used the most current drivers and software downloaded from the HighPoint website instead of the disk that was packaged with the new RR2720.įigure 1- Mini SAS Cable detached from System BoardĮxcept for a N54L on the System Board, instead of a N40L, the new MicroServer is a duplicate, as far as I could tell, of the MicroServers I have reviewed in the past.
The latest Windows Web RAID Management => v2.1.The latest Windows Drivers for Windows 7, 8, Vista, 2008 => v1.On the Storage Configurations page I downloaded: Data: 2* Crucial M4 256GB SSD in RAID0 – ID: RAID_0_1īefore I pulled the HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL (“RR2720”) from its box I went to HighPoint’s website at and clicked on the “ Storage Configurations” tab.OS: 2*Seagate 250GB (HP branded VB0250EAVER ) in RAID0 – ID: RAID_0_0.

StarTech Model SAS8087S450 19” Serial Attached SCSI SAS Cable – SFF-8087 to 4x Latching SATA.4GB RAM: 2*2GB Stock HP Sticks: 2GB came Stock with the HP ProLiant N54L G7 MicroServer and I added to that the spare Stock 2GB stick that came with my N40L (“ Ranger”).Later, I will flash the BIOS-MOD to either test the eSATA Port multiplier or when I remove the RAID card and need to use Ports 4 & 5. Unlike my work previously, I decided to NOT flash the BIOS-MOD on the N54L - planning instead to test the HighPoint RocketRAID 2720SGL and not using any of the onboard SATA II Ports of the N54L - making it unnecessary to unlock the stock BIOS to get the increased speed of Ports 4 & 5 or set those Ports to AHCI. In a previous writing I compared the rated performance of the CPU’s and having worked with the N40L in the past I was anxious to try out the N54L.
The HP ProLiant N54L G7 MicroServer (“MicroServer” or “N54L”) is the third variation in the MicroServer line at HP (N36L w/system board #620826-001, N40L w/system board #661787-001, and N54L w/system board #708503-001). I chose to wait on flashing the BIOS-MOD - electing instead to do some testing with the stock HP BIOS which, by-the-way, is the same as the stock BIOS ( #O41 J– see Figure 10) that came with my HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer a year earlier. The HP ProLiant N54L G7 MicroServer looks exactly like its predecessor HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer.
