686792-B21 HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 Configure-to-order Server

The 686792-B21 is the HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 configure-to-order server, a 2U rack server for Intel Xeon E5-4600 and E5-4600 v2 processors on the Intel C600 chipset. It takes up to four processors (32 cores with E5-4600, 48 cores with E5-4600 v2). All processors in the server must be identical, and three-processor configurations are not supported.

Factory integrated models ship with four Smart Socket Guides, 48 DIMM slots for RDIMM and LRDIMM, one FlexibleLOM connector, a Smart Array P420i controller with zero memory, one 1200W Common Slot Platinum Plus hot plug power supply at 94% efficiency, six fans with N+1 redundancy, a 5 SFF drive cage, a ball bearing rail kit and a cable management arm. Three PCIe slots are standard: slot 1 is full-length x16 PCIe 3.0, slot 2 is half-length x8 PCIe 3.0 and slot 3 is half-length x4 PCIe 2.0.

Memory is 12 DIMM slots per processor across 4 channels, 3 DIMMs per channel, reaching 1.5TB with 48 x 32GB RDIMM at 1600MHz or 48 x 32GB LRDIMM at 1866MHz. One processor leaves only a quarter of the slots usable and two leave half, and RDIMM and LRDIMM cannot be mixed. Maximum internal storage is 10.0TB of SFF SAS (5 x 2.0TB), with USB as four rear, two front and one internal port plus a micro SD slot.

Each processor kit holds one processor. For two processors order one -L21 kit and one -B21 kit, and for four order one -L21 and three -B21; examples are the E5-4657Lv2 12-core kit 734193-L21 and the E5-4650v2 10-core kit 734180-L21. The Power Cord Option 669777-B21 is needed for up to two 150W PCIe cards.

Another Gen8 option in the store is the 653206-B21 DL380p/560 Gen8 3-slot PCI-E riser kit, and more rack systems are in HPE server systems.
