HPE ProLiant DL60 Gen9 Networking Adapters

The DL60 Gen9 takes network adapters in a FlexibleLOM slot on an optional riser and in three PCIe 3.0 slots. Two embedded 1GbE RJ-45 ports (the HPE Embedded Dual Port 361i Adapter) on every model. HPE's QuickSpecs have listed 15 network adapters (Ethernet and InfiniBand) for it across editions.

  • 15 adapters
  • 1GbE to 10GbE

How to choose a DL60 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 15)

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 21)

Rule 3

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 15)

Rule 4

Mind the slot rules

Slots 2 and 3 come from one riser in the secondary riser slot: either the FlexibleLOM riser (Option 1) or the PCIe riser (Option 2), and one of them is required.

HPE: “NOTE: Only one of the CPU1 PCIe risers can be selected in any given configuration.” (page 4)

DL60 Gen9 adapter questions

How many network adapters can a DL60 Gen9 take?

The DL60 Gen9 takes network adapters in a FlexibleLOM slot on an optional riser and in three PCIe 3.0 slots. Only one FlexibleLOM fits the server, and it can be changed after the server ships.

Does the DL60 Gen9 have network ports built in?

Two embedded 1GbE RJ-45 ports (the HPE Embedded Dual Port 361i Adapter) on every model. The pre-configured Entry and Base models (830012-B21, 833865-B21) and the CTO chassis (777404-B21, 777403-B21) list 3 PCIe 3.0 slots and the embedded 361i.

Will an OCP 3.0 adapter fit a DL60 Gen9?

HPE's QuickSpecs for the DL60 Gen9 give it one FlexibleLOM slot: “3 Flexible LOM x8 x8 Flexible LOM CPU 1 (Can only be used for FlexibleLOMs)” (page 4). 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 21).

What do “QuickSpecs version 25” and “earlier HPE edition” mean on the list?

An adapter tagged “Listed in QuickSpecs version 25” is in version 25 of HPE's QuickSpecs for the DL60 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 25.

What if the adapter I need is out of stock?

Out of stock today does not mean unavailable: we can often source this part. Add it to a quote request and we reply with current pricing and availability. Every message, quotes included, is answered within 24 hours.
