Standard Memory

8 GB REG PC2-6400 2 x 4 GB installed (Base Model)

Upgrading Memory and Memory Interleaving

DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs. Bank interleaving is automatically enabled on a processor node under the following conditions:

Four single ranked DIMMs populated per node (4 x 1 GB or 4 x 2 GB for example) yields 2-way bank interleaving. Two dual ranked DIMMs populated per node (2 x 4 GB or 2 x 8 GB for example) yields 2-way bank interleaving. Four dual ranked DIMMs populated per node (4 x 4 GB or 4 x 8 GB for example) yields 4-way bank interleaving. If single and dual ranked DIMMs are mixed on the same node, bank interleaving will not be enabled.

If single and dual ranked DIMMs are mixed on the same node, bank interleaving will not be enabled.

Node interleaving can be configured via RBSU if both processors have the same memory footprint and it is independent of bank interleaving.

DIMMs must be installed in decreasing capacity with the largest DIMMs installed in the banks furthest away from each processor.

Standard Memory Plus Optional Memory

Up to 56 GB memory is available with the standard memory and the optional installation of 6 x 8GB PC2-5300 DIMMs.

Standard Memory Replaced with Optional Memory

Up to 64 GB of memory is available with the removal of the standard memory and the optional installation of 8 x 8 GB PC2-5300 DIMMs.

NOTE: Chart does not represent all possible configurations.

NOTE: DIMM banks are active only when the corresponding processor socket is populated.

DL385 specifications

The HP DL385 is a robust, versatile server designed primarily for virtualization, database processing, and intensive data applications. This server is well-regarded in environments requiring efficient power management, high performance, and excellent storage capabilities. The DL385 series leverages AMD EPYC processors which provide superior performance and more cores per socket compared to previous generations, thus enhancing multitasking and workload management.

One of the standout features of the HP DL385 is its ability to support large memory configurations. With support for up to 4TB of memory, the server is ideal for memory-intensive applications. Its 8 DIMM slots per CPU, paired with advanced memory technologies, ensure that data is processed quickly when demands peak.

The DL385 also offers outstanding storage options. It supports a variety of drive types, including SSDs and HDDs, and provides flexible RAID configurations for improved data protection and performance. The server can be configured with up to 30TB of storage capacity using dense, high-capacity drives, allowing organizations to handle large volumes of data without compromising access speed.

In terms of management and security, the server comes equipped with HPE's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology, which provides advanced remote management capabilities. This allows IT administrators to monitor the health and performance of the server from anywhere, minimizing downtime and improving operational efficiency. The iLO also features enhanced security protocols to protect sensitive data against breaches and unauthorized access.

Power efficiency is another key characteristic of the HP DL385. It utilizes advanced power supply options and cooling technologies to reduce energy consumption, which translates to lower operational costs over time. This makes the DL385 an environmentally friendly choice for data centers looking to minimize their carbon footprint.

Scalability is crucial for many organizations, and the HP DL385 excels in this area. It can accommodate future upgrades in CPU, memory, and storage, making it a future-proof investment for businesses anticipating growth.
