The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen7 server is a 1U system that can hold up to two processors, eight drive bays, and up to 384GB of memory. Built around Intel's Xeon 5600 series, this small rack server is capable of handling a variety of tasks from general purpose to high-performance computing.
Performance
A maximum of two Intel Xeon 5500 or Xeon 5600 series four or six core processors are supported on this rack server. High performance processors are denoted with an 'X', but administrators can opt for lower wattage 'E'-class or 'L' rated processors for lower cost. Xeon 5500s can be installed on the system, if preferred, to further lower the system's overall cost.
Memory
Registered (RDIMM) or unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3 memory modules are supported on the HPE DL360 Gen7, but mixing of different memory types is not supported. Each processor socket contains three memory channels that support three DIMMs each for a total of nine DIMM slots per installed processor, or a total of eighteen DIMMs with dual processors. With twelve 32GB RDIMM memory modules, the system can support a maximum memory capacity of 384GB. When using 16GB or 32GB memory modules, only twelve DIMM slots will be supported and both processors must be installed.
Storage
Administrators can choose between a 4 SFF or 8 SFF hot-plug drive bay configuration. Large form factor drives are not supported. If desired, an optional optical drive can be added to the 4 SFF configuration only. A maximum internal storage of 9.6TB is supported when using eight 1.2TB SAS hot plug drives in all eight slots.
