HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus Processors
Genuine HPE-qualified AMD EPYC 7002 Series processors for the HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus, new and refurbished. This is a single-socket server: one processor supplies all 16 DIMM slots, every PCIe 4.0 slot, and the OCP 3.0 slot, so the CPU choice sets the whole platform.
DL325 Gen10 Plus Processor Specifications
- Family: 2nd generation AMD EPYC 7002 Series, one processor per server — a System on Chip design with no separate chipset
- Range: 8 cores (EPYC 7232P at 3.1GHz) through 64 cores (EPYC 7742, 7702P and 7662)
- Memory: every listed processor supports DDR4 at 3200 MT/s and up to 4TB per socket
- Cache: 32MB on the 7232P rising to 256MB on the 64-core and F-series parts
- Wattage: 120W to 240W — processors above 150W ship with the High Performance heat sink
- SKU form: this QuickSpecs lists processors only as -L21 FIO kits, the factory-installed first-processor kits, rather than field-upgrade -B21 options
Expect an -L21 FIO kit, not a -B21 field upgrade. The DL325 Gen10 Plus QuickSpecs lists AMD EPYC 7002 processors only as -L21 FIO first-processor kits. With one socket and no second to fill, a CPU change here is a swap — and parts rated above 150W need the High Performance heat sink.
Which processors does the DL325 Gen10 Plus support?
| Tier | Examples | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 64-core | EPYC 7742 (2.25GHz, 225W), 7702P (2.0GHz, 200W), 7662 (2.0GHz, 225W) | Maximum consolidation density in 1U |
| Mid-range | EPYC 7642 48-core, 7542 / 7502P / 7452 32-core, 7402P 24-core | General virtualization and mixed workloads |
| High frequency | EPYC 7F32 (8-core, 3.7GHz), 7F52 (16-core, 3.5GHz), 7F72 (24-core, 3.2GHz) | Per-core licensed databases |
| Entry | EPYC 7232P and 7262 8-core, 7272 12-core, 7282 and 7302P 16-core | Cost-sensitive single-socket builds |
Note the SKU form: the DL325 Gen10 Plus option list carries -L21 FIO processor kits only — first-processor kits installed at the factory against a CTO chassis. With no second socket to fill, a CPU change on this server is a swap rather than an addition, and the heat sink has to suit the new part's wattage.
Choosing the Right DL325 Gen10 Plus Processor
- Cores or clock, not both: the 64-core parts sit near 2.0–2.25GHz base, while the F-series reaches 3.7GHz base on 8 cores — pick the axis your workload is actually bound by.
- Mind the 150W thermal step: anything above it uses the High Performance heat sink, and the 12LFF, 24SFF and 24SFF U.3 chassis ship with eight high performance fans as standard.
- One socket, one memory pool: all 16 DIMM slots hang off the single processor, and every listed part runs DDR4 at 3200 MT/s — see DL325 Gen10 Plus memory.
- License-bound workloads: the EPYC 7F32 and 7F52 hold high clocks on low core counts, which keeps per-core licensing sane.

DL325 Gen10 Plus Processors FAQ
What processors does the HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus support?
2nd generation AMD EPYC 7002 Series processors, one per server, from the 8-core 7232P to the 64-core 7742, 7702P, and 7662. Every listed model supports DDR4 at 3200 MT/s and up to 4TB per socket.
What is the maximum core count of the DL325 Gen10 Plus?
64 cores. The EPYC 7742, 7702P, and 7662 all deliver 64 cores in this single-socket 1U chassis, with 256MB of cache.
Can I add a second processor to a DL325 Gen10 Plus?
No. The DL325 Gen10 Plus is a 1P design with one socket. The two-socket member of the same family is the DL385 Gen10 Plus.
Why are DL325 Gen10 Plus processors sold as -L21 kits?
Because HPE lists them as FIO first-processor kits for this platform - factory-installable options ordered against a CTO chassis. The QuickSpecs processor option list for the DL325 Gen10 Plus contains -L21 part numbers only, with no field-upgrade -B21 equivalents.
Do DL325 Gen10 Plus processor kits include a heat sink?
The FIO kits are listed with the heat sink they ship with: processors rated above 150W ship with the High Performance heat sink, and lower-wattage parts with the standard one. Match the heat sink to the wattage of the processor you install.
Which DL325 Gen10 Plus processor is best for per-core licensing?
The high-frequency F-series parts - the 8-core EPYC 7F32 at 3.7GHz base and the 16-core 7F52 at 3.5GHz base. They hold clock speed high while keeping the licensed core count low, at 180W and 240W respectively.
