I’ve owned a N40L, I still own and love my Gen8, and recently acquired two Gen10.

This thing has no remote management. NONE.

I installed drives into the drive-bays and it just hangs at post with a code 92 in the bottom right screen. I contacted HPE support. Told me to get HPE drives, as anything else was unsupported. Seriously? Turns out the drives had SMART disabled. So I had to boot the server up from usb, “hot-install” the drives, turn SMART on with “smartctl -s on /dev/sdX”, and hey presto, it boots.

I have the serial number, product code, country of purchase, yet with all that information I’m not able to register my product so I can get that sweet “entitlement” of BIOS/Firmware updates.

I’m probably gonna go with Supermicro for future servers.
