What The DL560 Gen8 Actually Is
The HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen8 is a high-density 4-socket 2U rack server — a genuinely different platform from HP's mainstream 2-socket Gen9 rack line it's sometimes lumped in with. It runs the Gen8-era E5-4600 CPU family on DDR3, not the Gen9 E5-2600 v3/v4 / DDR4 combination.
Real Specifications
Form factor: 2U rack. Processor: up to 4x Intel Xeon E5-4600 or E5-4600 v2 — a true quad-socket system, not a 2-CPU-max platform. RAM: 48 DDR3 DIMM slots (12 per CPU), up to 1.5TB using 32GB LRDIMM (768GB with standard RDIMM) — RDIMM, LRDIMM, and UDIMM must not be mixed. Management: HPE iLO 4.
Where This Will Let You Down
DDR3 memory, not DDR4 — this is Gen8-era hardware, so don't expect Gen9 memory bandwidth or the newer E5-2600 v3/v4 CPU family. If you specifically need DDR4 and Gen9-class CPUs at this socket density, look at the DL560 Gen9 instead. Populating all 4 sockets and 48 DIMM slots is a genuinely heavy, power-hungry configuration — size your power/cooling accordingly.
