Confirm the hp h240 to work out of the box with fedora 23 driver (hp

My raid drives consume 11w per disk at maximum load and i have more
than
400w left on my power supply.
Thanks for the clarification
I will have the hba card so that will be ok, 5satas port is ok with an
al-x motherboard, the problem might be the number of pci ports and the vt-d
compatibility.
