HPE ProLiant DL165 G7 Parts
The HPE ProLiant DL165 G7 is the two-socket 1U rack server built on the AMD SR5670/SP5100 chipset, taking AMD Opteron 6100 and 6200 series processors across 24 DDR3 DIMM slots and a front end of either four large form factor bays or eight small ones. Every part below is genuine HPE, available new and refurbished, and tested for compatibility before it ships. Live pricing for each part number appears in the tables further down this page.
DL165 G7 Platform at a Glance
- Processors: up to two AMD Opteron 6000 series, in eight, twelve and sixteen core versions, with 12MB of shared L3 cache on 6100 series parts and 16MB on 6200 series parts
- Memory: 24 DDR3 slots — twelve per processor, four channels per processor and three slots per channel — taking Registered DIMMs to 384GB or Unbuffered to 64GB
- Drive bays: four 3.5-inch bays, built either as non-hot-plug SATA or as hot-plug SAS and SATA, or eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays
- Maximum internal storage: 12.0TB on four 3TB large form factor drives, or 8.0TB on eight 1TB small form factor drives
- Storage controller: the embedded HPE Smart Array B110i SATA RAID controller on SATA models, or an HPE Smart Array P410 on hot-plug SAS and SATA models
- Networking: two embedded HPE NC362i Integrated Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapters — four 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports — with the Lights-Out 100i management port supplied as an option kit rather than as standard
- Expansion: two PCI Express Gen2 slots, one full-height x16 slot and one low-profile internal-only slot on an x4 bus
- Power and cooling: a 500W auto-switching high-efficiency supply or a 750W Common Slot hot-pluggable supply, with four fans on single-processor models and N+1 fan redundancy standard once a second processor is fitted
- Management: HPE Lights-Out 100, compliant with IPMI 2.0, SMASH CLP and DCMI 1.0, with optional LO100 Advanced licences for virtual KVM and virtual media
Two things decide most DL165 G7 orders: the front end and the socket count. HPE built this chassis with four 3.5-inch bays, hot-plug or non-hot-plug, or with eight hot-plug 2.5-inch bays — and the three are not interchangeable. On the inside, a single processor leaves twelve of the 24 DIMM slots unavailable, so the second CPU is what opens the rest of the memory.

DL165 G7 Parts FAQ
What processors does the DL165 G7 support?
Up to two AMD Opteron 6000 series processors, in eight, twelve and sixteen core versions, plus a four-core 6204. The 6100 series parts carry 12MB of shared level 3 cache and the 6200 series parts carry 16MB.
How much memory can a DL165 G7 take?
384GB using Registered DIMMs across all 24 slots, or 64GB using Unbuffered DIMMs, which can fill only 16 of them. A server with one processor fitted can use half the slots.
How many hard drives fit in a DL165 G7?
Four 3.5-inch drives, hot-plug or non-hot-plug depending on how the chassis was built, or eight hot-plug 2.5-inch drives. Maximum internal capacity is 12.0TB on four 3TB drives, or 8.0TB on eight 1TB drives.
Which RAID controller is in a DL165 G7?
It depends on the model. SATA models use the embedded HPE Smart Array B110i; hot-plug SAS and SATA models shipped with an HPE Smart Array P410, either with no cache for RAID 0, 1 and 1+0 or with 256MB of battery backed cache for RAID 5 and 5+0.
How many network ports does the DL165 G7 have?
Four. Two embedded HPE NC362i Integrated Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapters provide four 10/100/1000 RJ-45 ports. The dedicated Lights-Out 100i management port is an option kit on this server rather than a standard port.
How many expansion cards does a DL165 G7 take?
Two, in a 1U chassis: a full-height x16 PCI Express Gen2 slot and a low-profile internal-only slot on an x4 bus. Reaching the second slot means the card in the first has to be half length rather than full length.
