The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server is a rack-optimized 1U dense solution that delivers exceptional compute performance, upgraded high-speed data transfer rate, and memory depth with 2P compute capability. Powered by 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with up to 60 cores, increased memory bandwidth, up to 8 TB of memory, and high-speed PCIe Gen5 I/O, the HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server is a perfect rack-optimized, 1U 2P, dense solution for general-purpose virtualization workloads that require increased compute density with built-in security and flexibility.
The silicon root of trust anchors the server firmware to an HPE-exclusive ASIC, creating an immutable fingerprint for the Secure Intel Processor that must be matched exactly before the server will boot. The HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 server is an excellent choice for EDA, CAD, and VDI.

Expansion Slots
Primary Riser
The system can hold up to 3 PCIe 5.0 slots on two risers. The first riser is a default butterfly riser that comes with the chassis. The default riser is controlled by the first CPU and has two PCIe 5.0 x16 slots. Slot 1 is a full-height while slot 2 is a half-height slot.
Secondary Riser
The second riser has two options to choose from. One option is the FH Riser makes Slot 2 on Riser 1 not available while the LP Riser does make slot 2 available. With the second option, you are able to get all 3 PCIe 5.0 slots integrated.
If you install the NS204i-u Rear Cable Kit (P54702-B21), then slot 2 of riser 1 will not be available since this is where that card can be installed. You do have another option of installing this Ns204i-u internally (P48920-B21). This OS Boot device includes 2x 480GB M.2 NVMe SSDs, with preconfigured hardware RAID1.
EDSFF CTO Model Rules
If Closed Loop Liquid cooling is selected with specific high speed Networking/ InfiniBand, then EDSFF or SFF NVMe drive cannot be selected
If 256GB DIMM and Rear NS204i-u are selected, then DLC Module must be selected.
If “HPE IB NDR200 1p OSFP MCX75310AAS Adptr” is selected with Closed Loop Liquid cooling, then EDSFF drives cannot be selected.

Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6)
Software that enables you to securely configure, monitor, and update your HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers seamlessly, from anywhere.
Embedded in Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers, HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) is an exclusive core intelligence that monitors server status, providing the means for reporting, ongoing management, service alerting, and local or remote management to quickly identify and resolve issues.
Power
HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen11 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
Mixing of 2 different power supplies is NOT supported.
