Rack (1U) server HP Enterprise ProLiant DL320 Gen12 6515P 2.3 GHz 16c 1P 64 GB DDR5 8xSFF MR408i-o 2×1000W PS

The HPE ProLiant DL320 Gen12 is a 1U single-socket rack server designed to maximize rack density while supporting virtualization, database and web hosting workloads in power-constrained environments. It is configured with an Intel Xeon 6515P processor (2.3 GHz, 16 cores), 64 GB DDR5 memory (1×64 GB), an onboard MR408i-o RAID controller, eight SFF drive bays and redundant dual 1000 W power supplies to provide compact, reliable compute capacity for data centre use.

Advantages

The ProLiant DL320 Gen12 provides increased expansion capability and higher performance compared with previous generations through support for modern Intel Xeon processors, DDR5 memory and PCIe Gen5 connectivity. Its 1U single-socket design optimises rack utilisation while dual 1000 W power supplies deliver redundancy for improved availability. Onboard RAID and multiple SFF bays offer flexible local storage options suitable for a variety of workloads.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and lightweight hypervisor deployments
• Database servers with moderate storage needs
• Web and application hosting in compact rack environments
• Edge and branch office compute where rack space is limited

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rackmount server
• Processor: Intel Xeon (6515P, 2.3 GHz, 16 cores)
• Memory: 64 GB DDR5 (1×64 GB)
• Storage bays: 8 × SFF drive bays
• Onboard RAID controller: MR408i-o
• Power: Dual 1000 W redundant power supplies
• Typical weight: 26.72 kg

How to use

Install the server in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of space and connect redundant power inputs to separate power sources or PDU circuits. Configure BIOS/firmware and RAID settings via the server management interface before deploying the operating system and workload. Populate the SFF drive bays with supported drives and verify memory and processor settings match the intended virtualization or hosting configuration.

Recommendations

For virtualization and database workloads, allocate memory and CPU cores according to workload profiles and use redundant power connections. Ensure firmware and drivers are kept up to date and monitor temperature and power usage in dense racks to avoid thermal or power saturation.
