Q9A07A

HPE Q9A07A is a ProLiant DL560 Gen10 5115 2.4GHz 10C 85W 2P 32G-2R P408i-a 8SFF 1x1600W Base CN Server. Go by the part number. Items like this are routinely identical to look at and specific in what they actually fit.

What to check before you buy. Three things decide whether a server will suit the job. The generation, because the processors, memory and controllers that fit one generation generally do not fit the next even where the chassis looks identical. The drive configuration, because a chassis built for small form factor disks cannot take large form factor ones without a different cage and backplane. And how it is specified to be populated, since a second processor usually needs its own heatsink and may enable memory slots that are otherwise unusable. It is also worth asking what is physically included: rails, bezel, drive carriers and the remote management licence are all commonly sold separately from the chassis.

How we supply it. Supplied new where available, otherwise as tested stock with warranty, subject to availability. If you are unsure whether this is the right part, give us the model it is going into and we will confirm it. Quotes by the next working day.

Q9A07A is a factory-configured HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 — 2 x Intel Xeon Gold 5115; 32 GB of memory; 8 x SFF drive bays.

The DL560 Gen10 is a four-socket server in a 2U chassis, which is the point of it — four sockets’ worth of cores and memory in half the height a four-socket server normally takes. It is a 2U rack machine with 4 processor sockets, taking Intel Xeon Scalable processors.

Storage is 8 x 2.5-inch (small form factor) bays. 2.5-inch drives trade capacity per drive for spindle count.

The storage controller is the P408i-a, a hardware RAID controller with flash-backed write cache.

The Xeon Gold 5115 fitted here is a 10-core part at 2.4 GHz. It sits in the tier where the core counts and clocks both get serious, which is where virtualisation hosts and databases live. With 2 fitted that is 20 cores in total.

32 GB is fitted.

Management is HPE iLO with Intelligent Provisioning, which gives you remote console, power control and health monitoring independently of the installed operating system.

Green Code Technologies supplies HPE ProLiant servers from stock in the UK. If you want this configuration confirmed against HPE’s QuickSpecs, or priced with extra memory or drives added, ask us and we will check it before you order.
