HPE ProLiant DL120 G6 Server
The HPE ProLiant DL120 G6 is a 1U rack-optimised server built for single-application IT infrastructure, web hosting and edge-of-network workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon X3450 quad-core processor running at 2.66 GHz and 4 GB of DDR3 SDRAM. A Serial Attached SCSI controller with RAID support handles storage connectivity.
Entry-level single-processor buyers
This server suits organisations that need a low-cost, space-efficient platform for a dedicated task or lightweight web tier. Buyers who require dual-socket performance, more than 8 GB of total memory or an optical drive for local media installation should look at a different chassis.
8 GB maximum memory ceiling
The system board provides four DDR3 slots but the chipset caps total capacity at 8 GB. That limit decides whether the DL120 G6 can hold the working set for your application or if a server with larger memory headroom is required.

Questions about this item
How far can the Xeon X3450 at 2.66 GHz scale before the 8 GB DDR3 limit becomes the bottleneck?
The quad-core Xeon X3450 supports a maximum of 8 GB DDR3 across four slots, so sustained workloads that exceed this capacity will hit the memory ceiling first.
What thermal or acoustic load should be expected from the 1U chassis running the X3450 continuously?
The single Xeon X3450 in a 1U rack enclosure relies on the integrated Intel 3420 chipset and onboard SAS controller; no separate GPU or additional processors add heat.
Which existing infrastructure is required to operate the ProLiant DL120 G6 out of the box?
A rack cabinet, power cords, SAS drives or arrays for the onboard Serial Attached SCSI controller, and DDR3 DIMMs if expanding beyond the installed 4 GB.
