The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 8SFF CTO Server, Part Number 869854-B21, is a powerful and highly scalable 4U rack server designed for demanding enterprise and data center environments. As a Configure-To-Order (CTO) platform, this server provides flexibility to configure processors, memory, storage, networking, RAID controllers, and other components according to specific business and workload requirements. HPE identifies this part number as the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 8SFF Configure-to-Order Server.
The DL580 Gen10 is designed for organizations requiring substantial processing power and enterprise-class scalability. The base chassis provides two processor slots, while configurations supporting up to four processors are possible with the appropriate optional CPU mezzanine hardware. This makes the DL580 Gen10 suitable for demanding workloads requiring significant compute resources.
Since 869854-B21 is a CTO server, no specific processor is included as a standard configuration. The system supports compatible Intel Xeon Scalable processors, allowing customers to select processors based on their performance, core count, and workload requirements. This flexibility makes the server suitable for virtualization, databases, enterprise applications, and other business-critical computing environments.
The server provides extensive memory expansion capabilities. In its standard configuration, the system supports 24 DDR4 DIMM slots for compatible RDIMM and LRDIMM memory. With the appropriate optional hardware and a four-processor configuration, the platform can support up to 48 DIMM slots, providing significant memory capacity for demanding enterprise workloads.
The 869854-B21 features an 8SFF (Small Form Factor) storage configuration, providing eight 2.5-inch drive bays. The base CTO configuration does not include hard drives, allowing customers to select compatible storage devices based on their required capacity, performance, and application requirements.
For storage management, the server includes support for the HPE Smart Array S100i software RAID controller. Additional compatible HPE storage controllers can be selected depending on the required RAID functionality, performance, and data protection requirements.
The DL580 Gen10 CTO platform does not include a fixed embedded network controller in the base configuration. It provides a FlexibleLOM slot, allowing compatible networking options to be selected according to business requirements. Additional network adapters can also be installed through compatible expansion hardware.
The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 also provides extensive expansion capabilities. PCIe expansion can be configured using the appropriate riser kits, allowing the installation of compatible networking adapters, storage controllers, Fibre Channel adapters, GPUs, and other enterprise expansion hardware. A fully configured system can provide significant PCIe expansion capacity.
For reliable operation in demanding environments, the server includes 12 hot-plug fans with N+1 redundancy. This enterprise cooling design helps support system reliability and simplifies maintenance in professional data center environments.
The 4U rack form factor provides the space required for its multi-processor architecture, extensive memory capacity, storage options, and expansion capabilities. This makes the DL580 Gen10 an excellent choice for organizations requiring high computing density and scalability in enterprise infrastructure.
For remote server administration, the platform includes HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) with Intelligent Provisioning. HPE iLO allows IT administrators to remotely monitor and manage the server, helping simplify deployment, system monitoring, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Advanced management features may require additional licenses.
With its up to four-processor scalability, extensive DDR4 memory expansion, 8SFF storage configuration, flexible networking options, configurable PCIe expansion, redundant cooling, and enterprise-class remote management, the HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen10 869854-B21 provides a powerful and adaptable platform for demanding enterprise and data center workloads.
This server is well suited for:
- Virtualization and server consolidation
- Enterprise databases
- Business-critical applications
- ERP systems
- Private cloud infrastructure
- In-memory computing
- Data center workloads
- High-performance enterprise computing
