2U Rack Server with Opteron 6136

The HP ProLiant DL385 G7 is a 2U rack server built around a single AMD Opteron 8-Core 6136 processor. It ships with 8GB of registered DDR3 memory configured as four 2GB modules. The platform targets organisations that need a compact, enterprise-grade compute node for virtualisation or general-purpose workloads. Buyers who require multiple processors or larger memory capacities out of the box should evaluate higher-specification chassis.

Sustained Load Behaviour with 460W Supply

A single 460 Watt power supply rated at 92% efficiency delivers power to the processor, memory and integrated controllers. Under continuous demand the unit maintains stable output within its thermal envelope for the configured components. The fixed power budget means the system cannot support additional high-draw processors or large drive arrays without exceeding the supply capacity. Workloads that scale beyond the installed CPU and memory will hit a hard power ceiling.

Smart Array P400i and Dual 1GbE Limits

Storage is managed by an HP Smart Array P400i controller with 256MB cache, providing hardware RAID for installed drives. Network connectivity relies on two embedded 1GbE NC382i multifunction ports. The controller cache size and single gigabit interfaces constrain sustained throughput for heavy database or backup streams. Environments that need 10GbE networking or larger controller cache for write-intensive applications will find these interfaces restrictive.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power does the single 460 Watt 92% efficiency supply draw when the DL385 G7 runs continuously?

The server ships with one 460 Watt power supply rated at 92% efficiency, so typical sustained draw stays well below the rated maximum while the 2U chassis fans cool the Opteron 6136 and memory.

Which drive cages and cables must I already have to populate the eight SFF bays in this 2U rack server?

The chassis provides eight small-form-factor bays wired to the Smart Array P400i controller with 256MB cache; you need compatible SFF drive carriers and the matching backplane cables for the drives you plan to install.

Will the dual 1GbE NC382i ports and P400i controller work with older HP rack switches and storage arrays I already own?

The two 1GbE NC382i multifunction ports and the Smart Array P400i with 256MB cache use standard Ethernet and HP storage interfaces that interoperate with earlier ProLiant networking and storage gear.
