HP ProLiant DL385 G7 Opteron 6136 1P 8GB DDR3 P400i/256MB 2U Rack Server

2U Rack Server with Opteron 6136

The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 is a 2U rack server built around a single AMD Opteron 8-Core 6136 processor. It ships with 8GB of registered DDR3 memory configured as four 2GB modules. The platform targets organisations that need a compact, enterprise-grade compute node for virtualisation or general-purpose workloads. Buyers who require multiple processors or larger memory capacities out of the box should evaluate higher-specification chassis.

Sustained Load Behaviour with 460W Supply

A single 460 Watt power supply rated at 92% efficiency delivers power to the processor, memory and integrated controllers. Under continuous demand the unit maintains stable output within its thermal envelope for the configured components. The fixed power budget means the system cannot support additional high-draw processors or large drive arrays without exceeding the supply capacity. Workloads that scale beyond the installed CPU and memory will hit a hard power ceiling.

Smart Array P400i and Dual 1GbE Limits

Storage is managed by an HP Smart Array P400i controller with 256MB cache, providing hardware RAID for installed drives. Network connectivity relies on two embedded 1GbE NC382i multifunction ports. The controller cache size and single gigabit interfaces constrain sustained throughput for heavy database or backup streams. Environments that need 10GbE networking or larger controller cache for write-intensive applications will find these interfaces restrictive.
