Overview of HPE 878612-B21 ProLiant DL385 Gen10The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 is part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's renowned ProLiant server series, known for its reliability, scalability, and performance. The model number 878612-B21 signifies a specific configuration with distinctive features that cater to various business needs.
Absence of CPU and RAMOne noteworthy characteristic of the HPE 878612-B21 is the absence of a central processing unit (CPU) and random-access memory (RAM). This unique configuration allows for a high degree of customization, enabling businesses to choose components that align precisely with their performance requirements and budget constraints.
Hot Swap 8 SFF Drive BaysThe server comes equipped with eight hot-swappable Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays, providing flexibility and ease of maintenance. Hot-swapping allows for the replacement of drives without shutting down the server, ensuring uninterrupted operations and minimizing downtime.
1GB Ethernet 4-Port 331i Network InterfaceNetworking is a critical aspect of any server, and the HPE 878612-B21 addresses this need with its 1GB Ethernet 4-port 331i network interface. This feature provides high-speed connectivity, allowing for efficient data transfer and communication within the network.
SpecificationsProcessor SupportWhile the HPE 878612-B21 does not come with a pre-installed CPU, it supports a wide range of processors from industry-leading manufacturers. This flexibility empowers businesses to choose the processing power that best suits their workload requirements, whether it's a dual-socket configuration for parallel processing or a high-core-count CPU for compute-intensive tasks.
MemorySimilar to the CPU, the absence of pre-installed RAM allows users to tailor the memory configuration to their specific needs. The server supports various memory types, including DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs, providing options for different performance and capacity requirements.
Storage OptionsThe eight hot-swappable SFF drive bays offer ample storage options for businesses dealing with large datasets or requiring high-speed access to stored information. The server supports a variety of storage configurations, including SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, accommodating diverse storage needs.
Expansion SlotsFor businesses requiring additional connectivity or specialized hardware, the HPE 878612-B21 ProLiant DL385 Gen10 features PCIe expansion slots. These slots enable the integration of additional networking cards, storage controllers, or accelerators, enhancing the server's versatility to meet evolving demands.
IntegratedHPE's Integrated Lights Out (iLO) management system is a key component of the ProLiant DL385 Gen10. iLO provides remote management capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor and control the server even when physically distant. This feature enhances overall system reliability and reduces the need for on-site intervention.
