Hi,   The server can support H730P, which is PN# X4TTX. The cable that you need is PN# X2N98. You can't use the existing cables due to the PERC ports are 12Gb/s. Just to make sure, you're using the backplane PN# V0RX3 right? Well, that's the only backplane for T340, but I'll just need to make sure. Other than that, it's pretty much it. Here a reference for you in case if you are missing any other cables, let me know: [URL]   About virtual disk migration, H730P would not be able accept disk migration from S140, only from hardware PERCs, here's the reference: [URL] Page 28. Also, based on the documentation of H730P, Windows Server 2019 is not validated.    Let me know if you have any other questions.
I purchased a T340 tower but skimped a bit on the raid controller since we don't have a heavy storage workload. I got 4 SATA drives configured in hot swap bays, and it has a SAS backplane (0101F2V00-000-G) to support that. 4 of the slots are wired, and the bottom 4 are not connected. The SATA drives are configured in a RAID 5 configuration. I have Windows Server 2019 Standard, and the system absolutely crawls. Services and applications show as unresponsive while starting up, and the performance of this system is unacceptable. In fact it's slower than the T320 it's replacing, which is similarly configured but has an H710. This server sat in a box for a bit after it was ordered, and because of that I'm past the return window. The official documentation states that there is no APOS kit for the update. I'm wondering what I need to do to upgrade this server to a hardware raid PERC, like the H730. Since I already have the backplane and some amount of cabling for it, it almost seems like I just need the card. I'm not worried about losing the existing volumes. What do I need to purchase to update this server to what I should have ordered in the first place?
