HPE ProLiant DL120 G7 Rack Options
Genuine HPE console and input options for the HPE ProLiant DL120 G7, new and refurbished. Start with the good news: HPE ships fixed mounting rails with all models of this server, so there is no rail kit to buy here. What this category holds instead is the console, KVM and keyboard hardware that sits around a 1U server in a rack.
DL120 G7 Rack Option Specifications
- Form factor and rails: 1U rack at 44.45 × 448.1 × 700.0 mm (1.75 × 17.64 × 27.56 in) with bezel, and HPE states that fixed mounting rails are included with all models
- Weight: 26.23 lb at maximum configuration with four hard drives, power supply and processor installed, and 22.84 lb at minimum with one drive fitted
- Input kit listed: an HPE USB keyboard and mouse kit in the US layout; HPE documents the same BFR with PVC Free kit in twenty national layouts in total
- Analog console switching: HPE Server Console analog switches in 0x2x8 and 0x2x16 port sizes
- Switching with virtual media and CAC: the Server Console Switch G2 range at 0x2x16 and 0x2x32 ports, and the IP Console Switch G2 range at 1x1Ex8, 2x1Ex16 and 4x1Ex32
- Connections at the server: one rear video connector on integrated Matrox G200eH graphics with 16MB of video memory, one serial connector, and seven USB 2.0 ports
The rails are already in the box. HPE states that fixed mounting rails are included with all models of the DL120 G7, so nothing on this page is a rail kit. What is here is console hardware — keyboard and mouse kits and console switches — and for a single server, iLO 3 covers most of what a KVM switch gets bought for.
Do you need anything from this page?
| Task | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Racking the server | Nothing — fixed mounting rails are included with all models |
| First power-on and ROM-based setup | A keyboard, mouse and monitor at the machine, or the iLO 3 remote console |
| Day-to-day administration | The network, or iLO 3 over its shared or dedicated port |
| One console across a rack of servers | An analog or IP console switch, sized to the number of machines |
The most useful thing on this page is what is not on it: unlike most ProLiant rack servers, the DL120 G7 arrives with its rails, so the only reason to be here is console hardware. For a single server, iLO 3 covers most of what a KVM switch used to be bought for; a switch earns its place when there is a rack of machines and a technician who has to stand in front of them.
Choosing the Right DL120 G7 Rack Option
- There is no rail kit to buy. HPE includes fixed mounting rails with all models of this server, which is worth confirming before ordering rails that were never needed.
- Check the depth against the rack. The chassis is 27.56 in (700mm) deep with the bezel in a slot 1.75 in high, so cable management behind it needs planning in a shallow cabinet.
- Match the keyboard layout to the country. The kit listed here is the US layout, and HPE documented the same keyboard and mouse kit in twenty national layouts.
- Count the servers before sizing a switch. HPE's analog switches for this server are 0x2x8 and 0x2x16; the IP Console Switch G2 range runs to 4x1Ex32.

A server that runs headless still needs the parts that do the work — browse DL120 G7 memory, hard drives, storage controllers, networking adapters and power supplies, or the full DL120 G7 parts listing.

DL120 G7 Rack Options FAQ
Does a DL120 G7 need a rail kit?
No. HPE states that fixed mounting rails are included with all models of this server, so the rails arrive with the machine rather than as a separate purchase.
How deep is a DL120 G7?
700mm, or 27.56 inches, with the bezel fitted. The chassis is 448.1mm (17.64 in) wide and 44.45mm (1.75 in) high, which is a standard 1U rack slot.
How much does a DL120 G7 weigh?
26.23 lb at maximum configuration with four hard drives, a power supply and a processor installed, and 22.84 lb at minimum with one drive fitted.
Do I need a KVM switch for a DL120 G7?
Only for local console work across several machines. A single server is covered by iLO 3 and its remote console; HPE's analog and IP console switches are for racks of servers sharing one keyboard and screen.
Which USB keyboard and mouse kit fits this server?
The kit listed here is the HPE USB BFR with PVC Free keyboard and mouse kit in the US layout. HPE documented the same kit in twenty national layouts in total.
How many USB ports does a DL120 G7 have for a keyboard and mouse?
Seven USB 2.0 ports: two on the front, four at the rear and one internal. HPE notes the internal port is intended for flexible storage, security or a USB drive key.
