How to choose a DL360 Gen9 network adapter

Rule 1

Decide the FlexibleLOM first

Only one FlexibleLOM fits the server, and it can be changed after the server ships.

HPE: “Only one FlexibleLOM can be added to the server. These options are upgradeable and can be changed from the original configuration after the server is shipped.” (page 19)

Rule 2

Match the cabling to the switch

HPE notes that DAC cables or fiber transceivers and cables are bought separately.

HPE: “NOTE: Direct Attach Cable (DAC) for copper environments or fiber transceivers and cables for fiber-optic environments must be purchased separately.” (page 29)

Rule 3

Count the processors

Slot 3 needs the second processor.

HPE: “Secondary PCIe 3.0 riser for PCIe slot 3 (requires CPU 2)” (page 3)

Rule 4

Plan the server memory

10Gb adapters, FlexibleLOM and stand-up, need at least 2 GB of server memory per adapter.

HPE: “For 10Gb adapters, a minimum of two Gigabytes (2 GB) of server memory is required per each adapter.” (page 19)

DL360 Gen9 adapter questions

How many network adapters can a DL360 Gen9 take?

The DL360 Gen9 takes network adapters in its one FlexibleLOM slot and in up to three PCIe 3.0 slots, of which slot 3 needs the second processor. Two PCIe 3.0 slots as standard (slots 1 and 2), three at most; with slot 3 the server has one full-height and two low-profile slots, or two full-height slots. Only one FlexibleLOM fits the server, and it can be changed after the server ships.

Does the DL360 Gen9 have network ports built in?

Four embedded 1GbE RJ-45 ports on both the SFF and LFF chassis (the HPE Embedded 1Gb Ethernet 4-port 331i Adapter). Both configure-to-order chassis (755259-B21 4LFF, 755258-B21 8SFF) come with the embedded 331i adapter and PCIe slots 1 (full-height, 3/4 length) and 2 (low profile).

Will an OCP 3.0 adapter fit a DL360 Gen9?

HPE's QuickSpecs for the DL360 Gen9 give it one FlexibleLOM slot: “NOTE: Both the SFF and LFF chassis have an embedded 4x1GbE NIC and FlexibleLOM bay.” (page 8). The list HPE gives for it has FlexibleLOM adapters for that slot and no OCP 3.0 adapters.

Are cables or transceivers included?

HPE notes that DAC cables or fiber transceivers and cables are bought separately. HPE: “NOTE: Direct Attach Cable (DAC) for copper environments or fiber transceivers and cables for fiber-optic environments must be purchased separately.” (page 29).

Do I need the second processor for more adapters?

Slot 3 needs the second processor. Slots 1 and 2 run from processor 1. HPE: “Secondary PCIe 3.0 riser for PCIe slot 3 (requires CPU 2)” (page 3).

What do “QuickSpecs version 48” and “earlier HPE edition” mean on the list?

An adapter tagged “Listed in QuickSpecs version 48” is in version 48 of HPE's QuickSpecs for the DL360 Gen9, the edition this page is built from. One tagged “Listed in an earlier HPE edition” was listed for this server in an earlier edition of HPE's QuickSpecs and is not in version 48.

Which Fibre Channel HBAs does HPE list for the DL360 Gen9?

HPE lists Emulex and QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs for Windows and Linux (8Gb, 16Gb and 32Gb) and four converged network adapters under HPE Storage Options. HPE's QuickSpecs have listed 19 Fibre Channel HBAs for it across editions, by model: Emulex 81E, 82E, 84E, SN1100E, SN1200E and SN1600E; QLogic 81Q, 82Q, 84Q, SN1000Q, SN1100Q and SN1600Q. They are in the Fibre Channel HBAs section of this page.
