What are the specifications of the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10?
A 1U rack server taking one or two Intel Xeon Scalable processors of the 1st or 2nd generation, up to 28 cores each, with 24 DDR4 slots reaching 3.0 TB. Storage is eight 2.5-inch bays, ten on the Premium NVMe backplane, or four 3.5-inch bays, plus an optional two-bay Universal Media Bay and one rear device — eleven at most. Expansion is up to three PCIe 3.0 slots, networking goes on a FlexibleLOM connector, and management is iLO 5. Two Flex Slot supplies fit, from 500 W to 1600 W.
How many drives does the DL360 Gen10 hold?
Eleven, and only in one particular build: eight in the front cage, two more in the Universal Media Bay and one at the rear. An all-NVMe server stops at ten, on the Premium backplane that wires the drives directly to the processors. The large-drive chassis holds four. HPE’s published capacity ceilings are 168.3 TB of SAS SSD across the eleven-device build, 153.6 TB from ten NVMe drives and 72 TB from four 18 TB disks.
What is the difference between the DL360 Gen10 and the DL380 Gen10?
Rack height, and everything that follows from it. The two machines share a processor table, a DIMM count, a chipset and a management controller. The 2U DL380 Gen10 then reaches 30 small-form-factor bays or 19 large ones plus two small, eight PCIe 3.0 slots across three risers, and eight accelerators chosen from twenty listed cards. This 1U stops at eleven devices, three slots of which two can be full-height, and two single-width accelerators. Oddly, the 1U is the deeper chassis: 70.7 cm against 67.94 cm with small drives.
Is the DL360 Gen10 the same as the DL360 Gen10 Plus?
No, and the names mislead. The Gen10 Plus is a separate machine with its own QuickSpecs, a50002559enw, built on 3rd Generation Xeon Scalable with 32 DIMM slots rather than 24. The plain Gen10 on this page is a 1st and 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable platform on the Intel C621 chipset with 24 slots. Nothing described here applies to the Plus, and there is no upgrade path between them.
How much memory can a DL360 Gen10 take?
The figure HPE prints is 3.0 TB, and reaching it means every slot carrying a 128 GB load-reduced module — 1.5 TB on each socket. The processor has to be able to address that much, and only 16 of the 113 listed parts can. Fill the same slots with 64 GB registered modules and the published total is 1.54 TB, which every processor in the table supports. Persistent memory lifted it to 6.0 TB on a narrow set of second-generation parts, at the cost of half the DRAM slots. Registered and load-reduced modules cannot be mixed.
How many PCIe slots does the DL360 Gen10 have?
Three at most, all PCIe 3.0, and no more than two of them can be full-height. Slots 1 and 2 sit on the primary riser driven by the first processor; slot 3 sits on the secondary riser and needs the second processor fitted. Ordering the secondary riser in its full-height form takes slot 2 out of service, and fitting the rear device bay takes slot 1. The Premium 10 SFF chassis has no slot 3 at all, because its NVMe riser occupies that position.
Can the DL360 Gen10 take a GPU?
Two single-width modules at most, from a list of five: an Intel Arria 10 GX FPGA, the NVIDIA Quadro P2200 and RTX4000, the Tesla T4 and the A2. HPE publishes a maximum inlet temperature for each card against each chassis instead of a simple yes or no, and in a 1U those numbers bite — the T4 is unsupported on one media-bay configuration, the A2 wants 20 °C on a standard-fan 8 SFF server, and the RTX4000 drops to a single card on the Premium front. A GPU build also needs the enablement and cable kits and a low-height storage controller so the card physically fits.
Does the DL360 Gen10 have onboard RAID?
Yes. Every model carries the embedded S100i software RAID, which uses fourteen SATA ports although only twelve of them reach drive bays — the other two serve a pair of M.2 sockets carried on the optional SATA M.2 riser. It runs in UEFI mode only, ships disabled, and HPE supports it under Windows Server alone; for Linux the guidance is to build the boot mirror with in-distribution open-source software instead. Hardware RAID means a Smart Array controller, from the cacheless E208i-a to the P816i-a with 4 GB and SmartCache.
Is the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 end of life?
Page one of its QuickSpecs carries HPE’s retirement banner, which withdraws the document and marks the base units in it obsolete for sale. That is a sales position rather than a support cut-off: no single end-of-service-life date is published for the model, and what governs a given machine is the contract recorded against its serial number. Our end-of-life checker reports dates exactly as the vendors publish them, and third-party maintenance keeps the platform covered long after an HPE agreement lapses.
Does Servnet sell the DL360 Gen10 new or refurbished?
Refurbished, always. HPE stopped selling this generation new years ago, so what leaves us is tested, re-certified hardware assembled to order in the refurbished ProLiant configurator and warranted either by us or under third-party maintenance. Describe the workload and we will put a configuration against it.
