HPE ProLiant DL585 G7 Parts
The HPE ProLiant DL585 G7 is the 4U four-socket AMD Opteron scale-up server, built on the AMD SR5690/SP5100 chipset and designed around processor and memory capacity rather than internal disk: 48 DDR3 slots and eight small form factor bays. 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.
DL585 G7 Platform at a Glance
- Processors: two or four AMD Opteron 6000 series, in four, eight, twelve and sixteen core parts, on the AMD SR5690/SP5100 chipset — three-processor configurations are not supported
- Memory: 48 DDR3 DIMM slots — twelve per processor across four channels — to a documented maximum of 1.5TB, with Advanced ECC and Online Spare protection
- The socket rule: a DIMM bank is active only when its processor socket is populated, so a two-processor machine has 24 live slots and four processors are what make the other 24 usable
- Drive bays: up to eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SFF SAS, SATA or solid state bays on an internal SAS backplane, plus one additional internal SSD slot
- Maximum internal storage: 9.6TB on eight 1.2TB SFF SAS drives, 8.0TB on eight 1TB SFF SATA, or 6.4TB on eight 800GB solid state drives
- Storage controller: embedded HPE Smart Array P410i, supplied as Zero Memory, 512MB FBWC or 1GB FBWC depending on the factory model
- Networking: embedded HPE Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331i-SPI Adapter on the Broadcom BCM5719 chipset, four RJ-45 ports
- Expansion: up to eleven full-length, full-height PCI Express and PCI-X slots, with two PCIe 2.0 x16 and three PCIe 2.0 x8 standard
- Power and cooling: 1200W Common Slot hot-plug supplies, two on two-processor models and four on four-processor models, with four hot-plug redundant fans
- Management: embedded HPE iLO 3 with 128MB of ECC RAM and a dedicated management port, an SD slot, and six USB 2.0 ports
On this platform the processor count is the memory ceiling. A DIMM bank is active only when the processor socket above it is populated, so a two-processor DL585 G7 has 24 live slots and a four-processor machine has all 48, on the way to the documented 1.5TB maximum. Check how many Opterons are fitted before working out how much memory the chassis can hold.

DL585 G7 Parts FAQ
How many processors does the DL585 G7 take?
Four. HPE ships the server with two or four AMD Opteron processors depending on the model, and three-processor configurations are not supported. Processor option kits for this server contain two processors each.
How much memory can a DL585 G7 take?
1.5TB, across 48 DDR3 DIMM slots. That figure assumes all four processor sockets are populated, because a DIMM bank is only active when its processor is installed - a two-processor machine has 24 usable slots.
How many hard drives fit in a DL585 G7?
Up to eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SFF drives on the internal SAS backplane, with one extra internal SSD slot beyond them. Maximum internal capacity is 9.6TB using eight 1.2TB SAS drives.
Which RAID controller is built into the DL585 G7?
An embedded HPE Smart Array P410i. HPE fitted it three ways at the factory: Zero Memory, with a 512MB flash backed write cache, or with a 1GB flash backed write cache on performance models.
How many expansion slots does the DL585 G7 have?
Up to eleven full-length, full-height slots. Two PCIe 2.0 x16 and three PCIe 2.0 x8 slots are standard, and riser options fill out the rest with further PCI Express or a mix of PCI Express and PCI-X.
Is the DL585 G7 still worth buying parts for?
It remains a capable four-socket consolidation platform, and the DDR3, SAS and Smart Array parts around it are plentiful. Because HPE has retired the documentation for this generation, matching part numbers to the exact socket count and processor family you own matters more here than on a server still in production.
