SL6000 server trays
HP developed multiple SL6000 server trays to meet various customer needs: memory capacity,
internal storage, or compute density. The chassis supports two server trays of the same model within
an SL6000 chassis. To optimize air flow, if one server tray is removed for maintenance, fan speeds
increase to ensure adequate cooling of the other tray. If a server tray is removed and a replacement
tray is not immediately available, users should install a tray blank within two minutes to maintain
proper cooling. The z6000 tray blank kit is a core option available for the z6000 G6 chassis.
Each server tray accommodates Intel® Xeon® 5500 Series processors, DDR3 memory, an integrated
Serial ATA (SATA) controller with HP Smart Array software RAID, non hot-plug SATA storage drives
housed in quick-release drive carriers, an integrated dual-port 1 gigabit network adapter, and an
optional PCIe 2.0 x16 slot available on a riser.
While SL6000 server trays include an integrated SATA RAID controller, they also support optional HP
Smart Array SAS controllers and SAS hard drives. For specific information on supported SAS
controllers, SAS hard drive options, and server node storage configuration, refer to the HP technology
document “Configuring SATA and SAS in HP ProLiant SL6000 servers” at
