Product Features
Technical Overview
At its core, the DL385 G11 features a single AMD EPYC 9124 processor, a 4th Gen hexadeca-core CPU with 64 MB of cache, operating at 3 GHz. The server supports a second processor for doubling compute capacity, making it suitable for scaling performance as workloads grow. Memory is handled by 12 DDR5 SDRAM slots, with one populated by a 32 GB module, and supports ECC and registered buffering for error correction and stability under heavy loads.
Storage is managed by an MR408i-o 12Gb/s SAS controller, which optimizes data throughput for the 8 small form factor hot-swappable bays. These bays allow for rapid drive replacement without downtime, ideal for environments requiring high availability. Expansion capabilities include three slots: two OCP 3.0 and one PCIe Gen5 x16, providing options for additional networking, storage, or accelerator cards.
