HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 9124 16-Core 64GB DDR5 2x480GB SATA SSD P86277-005 rack server

2U Rack Server for General Purpose Workloads

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 is a 2U rackmount server built around a single AMD EPYC 9124 processor running at 3.0 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 64 GB of DDR5 Smart Memory configured as two 32 GB modules at 4800 MT/s. Two 480 GB SATA read-intensive SSDs are pre-installed behind an MR408i-o storage controller with 4 GB cache. Dual 800 W platinum hot-plug power supplies and six hot-swap fans provide redundant cooling and power in a chassis measuring 10.63 x 23.62 x 36.13 inches.

Suits Single-Socket Density; Not for Dual-CPU Scale

This configuration targets organisations that need balanced compute and memory in a single-socket 2U form factor. The 16-core EPYC 9004 series CPU and 64 GB DDR5 suit virtualisation hosts, database nodes or application servers that do not require a second processor. Buyers who need more than 16 cores per chassis, higher memory capacity per socket or a GPU-ready platform should evaluate alternative models. The four-port 1 GbE OCP3 adapter covers basic connectivity but does not address 10 GbE or 25 GbE requirements.

Single EPYC 9124 at 3.0 GHz with 16 Cores

The installed AMD EPYC 9124 operates at a 3.0 GHz base frequency with a 200 W TDP and 64 MB L3 cache. This specific processor determines the server's peak single-thread performance, core count and thermal envelope. No second CPU is populated and the board supports only one socket, so the 16-core ceiling is fixed for this unit. Verify that your licensing, threading model and cooling budget align with this exact processor before purchase.
