HPE ProLiant DL340 Gen12 P87742-005 Xeon 6515P 16C 64GB DDR5 480GB NVMe rack server

Built for general-purpose workloads

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon 6515P processor running at 2.30 GHz across 16 cores and 72 MB of L3 cache. It arrives with 64 GB of HPE DDR5 Smart Memory at 6400 MT/s in a single module and a 480 GB NVMe boot drive. Six hot-swap performance fans and dual 1000 W titanium power supplies keep the 150 W TDP processor cool and powered in dense deployments.

Installation notes and common pitfalls

The chassis occupies 2U of rack space and includes rails for standard four-post cabinets; verify rail depth before mounting. Memory is installed as one 64 GB DIMM, so future upgrades must follow the platform’s population rules to avoid reduced bandwidth. The MR416i-o controller and NS204i-u v2 boot device are pre-cabled, but the eight SFF drive bays require compatible carriers for additional hot-plug drives. Expansion cards install into six PCIe Gen5 slots and two OCP 3.0 bays; check card height and power limits before seating them.

Pre-order compatibility checks

Confirm your rack provides sufficient depth, airflow clearance and PDU connectors for two 1000 W supplies. The Broadcom BCM57416 adapter delivers two 10 GbE BASE-T ports; ensure your switch ports and cabling support that speed. Operating-system drivers for the storage controller and network adapter should be validated for your hypervisor or OS version. This configuration includes a single processor; workloads requiring a second CPU cannot be met by this unit.
