HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11Specifications, configurations & comparisons

8 TB, from 32 × 256 GB 3DS RDIMMs — 4 TB per processor. HPE limits 256 GB modules to eight per processor by default; all 32 need the DLC module, or an approved air-cooled build with processors of 250 W or less, eight SAS/SATA drives at most, sub-100Gb networking and a 25 °C inlet.

Up to two processors from 58 option kits across Intel’s 4th and 5th Gen Xeon Scalable families, with 8 to 64 cores and TDPs between 125 W and 385 W, including the Xeon Max 9462 with on-package HBM. Above 270 W HPE specifies liquid cooling, apart from a one-socket 300 W exception in its fan notes, and 5th Gen parts come only on a newly built server.

Up to 20 E3.S 1T NVMe drives with two processors fitted, ten 2.5-inch drives with the 8 + 2 SFF cages, or four 3.5-inch drives. Boot is separate: an NS204i-u module with two M.2 NVMe drives, mounted internally or hot-plug at the rear.

Up to three NVIDIA L4 or two NVIDIA A2 — 75 W cards up to 9.5 in long — and the third L4, in slot 3, needs the second processor. GPUs require the High Performance fans and the “Increased Cooling” BIOS setting, and HPE rates them at 25–30 °C inlet depending on the front.

Three x16 PCIe 5.0 slots — two wired to the first processor, one to the second — and two OCP 3.0 bays. There is no embedded LAN — HPE’s configurator pre-selects a four-port 1GbE Broadcom BCM5719 adapter in OCP slot 2 — and adapter options reach 400Gb InfiniBand NDR.

The chassis measures 4.29 × 43.46 cm (height × width); depth is 75.31 cm for 8+2 SFF and 77.31 cm for the 4 LFF and 20 EDSFF versions. Weight runs from 14.56 kg for a minimal SFF build to 21.58 kg for a fully loaded LFF build.

Any one or two identical Flex Slot hot-plug units from seven models: 500 W, 800 W or 1600 W Platinum; 800 W, 1000 W or 1800–2200 W Titanium; plus one −48 V DC model at 1600 W. The two largest AC units are high-line only, and the 500 W unit is restricted to the 4 LFF chassis with one processor of 125 W or less.

The DL360 adds a second processor, 32 DIMM slots in place of 16 and an 8 TB memory ceiling, plus a third PCIe slot, a second OCP bay and the 20 EDSFF front. The single-socket DL320 Gen11 has two embedded 1GbE ports and offers 12 LFF and GPU Dense chassis for up to four GPUs, which the DL360 does not.

Not in the field. HPE states that the firmware 5th Gen processors need is incompatible with the system board shipped with 4th Gen processors, so a 5th Gen DL360 Gen11 has to be ordered as a new server with the current board.

HPE’s QuickSpecs (Version 48, 8 September 2026) sets no end-of-sale or end-of-support date for the server, though it warns that 256 GB DIMMs may be discontinued early because of supply constraints. Standard cover is three years of parts, labour and on-site response by the next business day; dates HPE publishes later appear in our end-of-life checker.
