HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen8 8SFF خادم رف بدون مكونات داخلية

Chassis and platform

Gen8 introduced the SmartDrive carrier, the modular front cages and iLO 4, all of which HPE kept for the next two generations. The processor and memory platform, however, is the DDR3 era, and parts from Gen9 onward do not fit.

What you need to add

Everything for this platform is DDR3 era and LGA2011, so check that parts on hand are the right generation before assuming they will fit. The v2 processors are the better buy where available, for more cores at the same wattage.

• One or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v1 or v2 processors with DL360 Gen8 heatsinks
• DDR3 ECC Registered DIMMs, four per processor to use every memory channel
• 2.5 inch SAS, SATA or SSD drives in HPE SmartDrive carriers
• A Smart Array controller or HBA, if not already on the system board
• HPE Common Slot power supplies, two for redundancy

v2 processors need system firmware from 2013 or later. Both processors must be from the same family, v1 with v1 or v2 with v2, and memory speed follows the slower of the processor limit and the DIMM rating.

Part numbers and identification

HPE sold the DL360 in p and e variants in Gen8; buyers search for "DL360 Gen8", "DL360 G8" and "DL360 Gen8 8SFF", which describe this unit.

Compatibility

The DL360 Gen8 shares processors and memory with the 2U and tower Gen8 servers, and its drive carriers with every ProLiant through Gen10, so drives are the one part that can follow you to a newer server.
