Dual 16-core Opteron server

The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 is a 2U rack server populated with two AMD Opteron 6274 processors. Each CPU delivers 16 cores at 2.20 GHz, giving a total of 32 cores for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 32 GB of DDR3-1333 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. It is aimed at datacentre operators who need dense, high-core-count compute in a standard rack footprint.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing many threads

This configuration fits environments that run large numbers of virtual machines or container instances and benefit from high core density. The 16 MB L3 cache per processor supports heavy scheduling loads. Buyers who require newer instruction-set extensions, higher per-core frequency, or memory speeds beyond DDR3-1333 should evaluate alternative platforms. The 512 GB maximum memory ceiling also limits very large in-memory databases.

DDR3-1333 memory standard

The platform uses DDR3 SDRAM running at 1333 MHz (PC3-10600) across 24 slots, with a 512 GB capacity limit. This memory generation and speed determine both upgrade path and achievable bandwidth. Confirm that your workload fits within the DDR3-1333 envelope before committing to this server.

Questions about this item

What HyperTransport speed does the AMD Opteron 6274 run at, and what does that cap in a dual-socket G7?

The Opteron 6274 links run at 6400 MHz HyperTransport, so inter-socket bandwidth tops out at that rate in the dual-processor DL385 G7.

How many DIMM slots are free for expansion beyond the factory 32 GB?

The server has 24 DDR3 slots total; with 32 GB already installed, the remaining slots can take the system up to 512 GB.

What is the correct sequence for adding processors and memory in this G7 chassis?

Install the second Opteron 6274 in the empty socket first, then populate its dedicated memory channels before adding DIMMs to the first processor’s channels.
