Dual Opteron 6176 SE 2.3GHz Server
The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 is a 2U rack server equipped with two AMD Opteron 6176 SE processors running at 2.3GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR3 memory installed as four 4GB modules. The system includes a Smart Array P410i controller with 1GB flash-backed write cache and dual 750W power supplies. It targets organisations that need a two-socket AMD platform for virtualisation or general business workloads.
Virtualisation-Focused Two-Socket Upgrade
This server replaces older single-socket or lower-core-count AMD platforms when a workload demands more simultaneous threads and a larger memory ceiling. The jump is worth it when applications can use the combined twelve cores and the 256GB maximum memory capacity supported by the G7 architecture. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or who require newer memory standards cannot use this platform.
DDR3 Memory and Gigabit Network Limits
Memory expansion is limited to DDR3 modules up to the 256GB maximum across the available DIMM slots; no other memory generation is compatible. Network connectivity is provided by four Gigabit Ethernet ports from two NC382i adapters, capping link speed at 1Gbps per port. Storage throughput depends on the P410i controller and the SATA drives installed. Organisations needing 10GbE or faster storage interfaces must add separate expansion cards.

Questions about this item
What rack height does the 2U ProLiant DL385 G7 require?
The server occupies 2U of rack space in a standard enclosure.
How are the two AMD Opteron 6176 SE processors installed, and what step is often missed?
Both CPUs are pre-installed; the common oversight is not seating the 1 GB FBWC module on the Smart Array P410i controller.
What memory upgrades does the 16GB DDR3 configuration support later?
The system accepts DDR3 modules up to a total of 256GB across the available DIMM slots.
