NOTE:1: HT indicates that the processor model supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. Turbo indicates the maximum potential frequency increment when using Intel Turbo Boost Technology, with 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 cores active. DDR3 speed is the maximum memory speed of the processor. Actual memory speed may depend on the quantity and type of DIMMs installed. For the Intel 5000, and 5600 Series, the letter preceding the model number indicates the performance/wattage of the processor. 'X' denotes High Performance/Wattage; 'E' denotes Enterprise performance/Wattage (Mainstream); and 'L' denotes Lower Wattage. Up to 2 processors supported. Performance configurations include two processors. Mixing different processor models is not supported.

2: If only one processor is installed, only half the DIMM slots are available. When populating with the 16GB Memory Kits (Quad-Rank), only 12 DIMMs can be populated. For G6 and G7 servers using Xeon 5600 series processors, the default memory speed is1333 MHz with either one or two DIMMs per channel. For G6 and G7 servers using Xeon 5500 series processors, an RBSU option is available to disable 1333 MHz operation (which will result in 1067 MHz operation). UDIMM support is only on 12-slot servers. Depending on the memory configuration and processor model, the memory speed may run at1333 MHz, 1066 MHz, or 800 MHz.

Click here to see the Online Memory Configuration Tool.

3: Using PC3-8500R DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) memory, operating at800 MHz when fully populated at 2 DIMMs per Channel in 12 slots.

4: Using PC3-10600E DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM) memory, operating at 1066 MHz when fully populated at 2 DIMMs per Channel in 12 slots.

5: The system board has 2 PCI connectors, but the below riser cards have the actual PCI slots, to which PCI cards attach. Up to six available PCI-Express Gen2 slots, optional mixed PCI-X / PCI-Express or x16 PCI configurations available.

6: Indicates the number of physical electrical lanes running to the connector.

7: Default bus assignment (in decimal). Inserting cards with PCI bridges may alter the actual bus assignment number.

8: HP ProLiant DL servers no longer ship standard with a 12-foot NEMA 5-15P to C13 power cords(227099-001) that allow connection to 110 V US wall outlets in a home or office. ProLiant DL servers are primarily connected to PDU's in data center racks so they now ship standard with only a PDU 6-footC-14 to C13 power cord (142258-002). If a user wishes to power a ProLiant DL server using a 110 Vreceptacle (NEMA-15), the 12-foot NEMA 5-15 to C13 power cord (227099-001) must be ordered separately. Also available: 110 volt 6-Foot NEMA 5-15p to C13 (AF556A).

9: One processor models include four fans. Two processor models include six fans.

10: Maximum resolution available via iLO 3 remote console for ProLiant is 1280 x 1024 (for 32 bit color) and 1600 x 1200 (DVR max resolution).

11: Gen8 hard drives are incompatible to Generation 7 and below servers.

Where can I find detailed information on the DL360 G7 specifications and supported options?

The DL360 G7 QuickSpecs include descriptions of all models of the ProLiant DL360 G7 and an extensive list of supported options from HP.

What is the difference between DL360 G7 Entry, Efficiency, Base, Performance Models?

The new ProLiant DL360 G7 offers multiple partially configured models with different processor models, Smart Array RAID controllers, memory capacity, and other options. The exact specs for these models can be found in the server QuickSpecs under the 'Model' heading.

What new product specific options are available for the ProLiant DL360 G7 server?

The DL360 G7 offers Intel Six Core processors, iLO 3, 4x1Gb NICs and optional support for an optical drive; up to 8 small form factor (SFF) hard drives. For a complete list of options, including product specific, please refer to the 'Options' section of the server QuickSpecs.

What DL360 G6 options can be shared with the DL360 G7?

Most options supported on G6 will be supported on G7. Refer to QuickSpecs for more information.

What operating systems are supported on the ProLiant DL360 G7?

Operating system support includes:

  • Microsoft Windows 2003 (all version except for DataCenter edition)

  • Microsoft Windows 2008

  • LINUX 5 (Red Hat, SuSE, United)

  • Oracle Solaris

  • VMware (ESX3.5,ESX4, ESXi4.OU4)/ Xen Source/RH and SLES XEN/ Microsoft Hyper-V

For a complete and up-to-date listing of supports OS's and versions, please visit our OS Support Matrix or QuickSpecs.

Does the DL360 G7 support video graphics cards?

The DL360 G7 will support many third party video graphics cards up to 150w (Size dependent-full-length, full-height or low profile but doesn't support Double Wide form factor)

Does the DL360 G7 support the 6Gb SAS or 3Gb SATA technology?

The DL360 G7 is both 3 and 6Gb SAS and 3Gb SATA ready.

Does my DDR3 Memory always run at 1333MHz?

It depends on your processor model, and memory configurations. Please refer to the Quick Specs for details.

What rack options are available for the DL360 G7?

Two rack options are available to address the challenges of cable management for a 1U server. An optional ambidextrous cable management arm can be attached to the rack rail. Cables from the server are set inside the arm, significantly improving in rack servicing.For out of rack servicing, optional PDU extension bars have been designed specifically for a 1U server. These PDU's have shortened power cords already attached to the PDU. This significantly reduces the cable bulk from power cords, especially when running redundant power in the server. To service the system, simply unplug the shortened power cables and remove the service from the rack.

See the Quick Specs for details.

Does HP offer racking solutions for my ProLiant DL360 G7 in Telco and Third Party Racks?

Yes, the DL360 G7 slide out rail system provides tool-free support for racks with square or round mounting holes (including HP/Compaq 10000, 9000. 7000 and HP series), with an adjustment range of 24-inch to 36-inch. Installation into Telco racks requires a 3rd party option kit. Click here for more information .

Can the SD Card slot or USB ports on the DL360 G7 be used as a boot device or floppy replacement?

Utilities are now available that allow the use of SD Card/ USB instead of floppy for a number of tasks, including system boot from USB drive key. For additional information, view the HP Drive Key Boot Utility whitepaper.

How does SD Card/USB compare to floppy?

USB 2.0 offers a fast interface for low speed peripheral devices - including storage devices. USB drive keys support large data capacities. Available capacities on USB disk keys can support anywhere from 16 to 300 times more capacity than a 1.44MB floppy disk.

What are the system health LEDs used for? What do the different colors mean (green, red, amber)?

On the front panel is the SID(Systems Insight Display) that lays out the internal components with LEDs that are used to help diagnose a server failure. When an internal component fails, the indication is made on an internal component LED (amber) and on the front panel. If the item is serviceable without removing the server hood, as in the case of a redundant power supply failure, the External Health LED will illuminate. If the item is serviceable by removing the hood, as in the case of a fan failure, the Internal Health LED will illuminate.

If no failures have occurred, the system health LEDs will be green. If a failure has occurred, but a redundant feature has enabled the system to continue running, the LED will be amber. If the failure is critical and is/has caused the system to shutdown, the LED will be red. These LEDs serve as local indicators for several failure conditions. Insight Manager will continue to report these, and many other failure conditions, as well.

What new management features are available on G7?

SIM and Insight Control Manager provide the essential infrastructure management that speeds server deployment, proactively manages health, optimizes power management, and offers control from anywhere - now on broader selection of supported operating environments.

What Service offerings are recommended?

HP recommends customers purchase for deployment, HP Care Pack hardware installation and start up and same day 24×7 hardware support combined with software technical support for operating system and management software. This combination provides ready access to technical expertise, will help minimize downtime, and enable customers to focus on their core business.
