Always follow the license activation steps provided with the purchase documentation.

Before purchasing or installing a license key, your P420i controller have a Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) module installed. A 1GB or 2GB FBWC module is required.

For a user holding a new key, the installation process is straightforward but specific:

If utilizing SmartCache, ensure you are pairing it with high-endurance enterprise-grade SSDs to withstand the heavy write workloads of cache mirroring and logging. If so, tell me: What Operating System are you running on the host? Are you looking to configure RAID 5, RAID 6, or SmartCache ?

Securely sanitizes drives directly via the controller for data compliance. Prerequisites Before Activating a New Key

Because HP ProLiant Gen8 servers and the P420i controller are legacy products, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has transitioned support and licensing structures over time.

To help narrow down your deployment steps, please let me know: What is running on your ProLiant server? Do you already have SSDs installed to use for SmartCache?
