HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Rack Server Walkthrough - 634

[Music] hi and welcome to my Playhouse and today I'm at work I'm at a data center and I am transporting some servers down here today because we have purchased new servers for our VMware system and a couple of backup servers new servers so I've actively transported nine servers down to this data center which brought my car at the present time and to a value of two point two six million Danish parents I calculated that that's about three hundred and sixty thousand dollars so that wasn't the expensive car for a little bit but right behind me here on the table I have the new HP and DL 380 generation 10 and it's still in plastic and bags and everything so I thought that we should together put in all the loose stuff and have a look inside this server is gonna be used as a backup server some kind the backup department has been wanting one of these for a bit so I have actually purchased this one for them and I'm a Lenovo fan but my boss says that we are buying HP servers and have to do what the bus is but as I usually say H P stands for hardware problems button well bosses don't listen do they now so basses aside let's go see the boss at the table okay this is more or less what you get within UHP server I'm missing one hop it also comes with a couple of power plus and I don't think that's important that get the power of the way so here we have have some paper works let's just see what comes with it we have an HP e hot plug AC power supply installation instruction I this server is a built to order server that means that it has been built to our specifications what we wanted in Czechoslovakia and it has been transported up here by carrier another one so it has two power supplies apparently then we have set up instructs start here setting up information for the boolean for the HPE ProLiant dl380 generation 10 server awesome yeah something about the wee-fee bios something on where to get the newest if you part and you probably look there with all the intel problems we are having right now with the meltdown and with the intel problems that we have lately so we have read first return read first this is for the fiber-optic channel boss adapters that are in there there are actually six of those this is a backup server so it needs a lot of access to the sam then we have some safety blah blah blah and back for that then we have a cable management arm that goes behind the server I'm not gonna mount this today so we'll keep this in the back in this fact everything was neatly put in that box of course 259 servers in my car I have to take him out of the box then there is folder for the fiber optic cut there are these FS peas and these are 16 gigabits FFP pluses 16 gigabits that's fairly fast then we have the rails these are really nicely put in here I don't want to take them out of there their standard HP rails I do not believe that they have made any changes for the generator there is crabby as always so let's open up get inside and we have have a big bag of this awesome stuff that's that tastes really well it says that you should not eat it it actually doesn't say that but don't eat it then we have the big bag so here is the front of the server and it's really dull there's almost nothing of interest here this part over here is a bit more interesting we have room for a lot of hard drives you can take these out and you can put in more hard drives I have gotten this one with three hard drives and these are well it's not off so we could just pop them up it's 240 gigabyte SSDs and there's SATA drives it's this is just for booty so this was more or less the cheapest SSD that you could get it wasn't expensive the expensive part of this server is the CPUs it has two of the new into scalable CPUs in there and there are sixteen core three gigahertz I do not remember the number of that but we'll get to that otherwise we have we have room for a top lies I've talked about this in multiple videos it's this is the normal thing for a server come with 8 hard drives and then you can expand it one or two more of these slots here otherwise we have power on button we have a view ID that's the blue button when you press it the server will light up blue on the back so you can find this server in a rack and we have the activity health indicator we have an activity on the network indicator we have a USB 3 port we have the s ID which is kind of very small control panel if we have a problem with the server something will line up here the server has 2 CPUs it has 4 what is that network cards so we can see the network activity there we have some more very small text right here we have PCI riser over-temperature ampere temperature power cap the 2 CPUs 24 teams and 6 fans so if there is any problem with any of those components well there's a little LED here that will light up and tell us where we should look for our way around then we have the information sticker with the serial number and I know adapter password so and is really starting to get it out of the rack so the front of the server wasn't really that interesting but the back of the serve we have a lot of stuff going on here so let's see what we have this server comes with 6 extension 6 PCI Express ports coming out the back and we have filled all of these up within HPA's for connecting to the Sam and we're going to be putting something in those FS piece here then we have 2 10 gigabit connectors down here for connecting to the network we have the UID the LEDs lights up really brightly when you press the button in front of the server we have two USB ports awesome we have the connection for the ILO adapter we have for one gigabit network ports right there that comes as a standard with the server and there on the system board I hope we'll see that when we get in there then we have the VGA connection we did not have that on the front did you notice that they have removed that then we have two power supplies over here and there 800 watt speech so funny new tiny form factor here 800 watts they say that there are 94 percent efficient that's is pretty good it also says that it's an 80 plus Platinum and that's also very efficient so it's not bad compared to older power supplies this is just really good redundant power supplies you in all professional data centers you always have that hidden funny enough it starts with power supply one and then power supply to the server weighs something between 16 kilograms and 36 kilograms and that is here for the Americans you need two people to carry this in yeah it's the waiking instructions is different front of the server we have a sticker here and it very clearly says that hewlett-packard enterprise is made in the Czech Republic and it has some model numbers and all the certificates power consumption this is this is from 100 to 240 volt 50 or 60 Hertz and there is something in Chinese I will have you look at that over here we have the serial number and the high/low password and stuff let's open it up it has an opening mechanism on top and it has a little screw there so you can actually turn that and it makes it a little bit more difficult to open it up and not much of a security issue but you have to have a screw driver to work when when you use your screwdriver you know that you're doing something that you might not be authorized to so although this is spasm so on the back of the lid here we have different information but it tells us what kind of a server we're looking at then we have a schematic of the system board down there with a lot of numbers on and we can go over here and see what the different stuff is which is really nice because you don't always know what that plug is number 13 that's a drive backplane power connector okay so we know what that is it has system management switches dim population order and this is kind of irritating it just says to go to the website there's a lot of room down here for more information if if they wanted to put that on there then over here we have the different servers that are available we are looking at this one where you can see that this one has all the drive bay available then we have the backup server this is more less what we are looking at then they have another one where you can actually put in six hard drives in the back of the server as well still being able to put in a couple of PCI Express port and the lum down here the long Minister is the flexible London connector which is in it can be a network card it can be an HPA for the Sam then they have an option for so you can put in three graphics card inside of the server some of the big beefy ones you need another riser card they call it a butterfly riser with three GPU support and that's optional it doesn't come standard then there is information of what these difference things are on the server that's here and then there is information about how the front LEDs work when they're showing different colors green amber solid amber okay if something is wrong with the server that's probably a good place to start looking okay so here is the inside of the server and over here the this space there is really a lot of room here whether it's missing disks because they're not in use the backplane of the eight drives are here connected with two SAS connectors regular internal SAS connectors and there is a power connector for the backplane this is actually more simple that in the Lenovo server that I have been looking at so that's okay and we have a fan assembly that we can very quickly remove if we want that it's an honor thing here metal it has its own blue connectors you have to turn off the server to do anything with a blue connector these red connectors well they are hot pluggable so you can replace a single fan without turning off the server now let's put this back in then we have a cover here that covers the CPU and the RAM oops I would have expected bigger heat sinks than this for this CPU so that's that's the thing but underneath here are the two until scalable CPUs and the new scalable lineup of CPUs goes well as big range of its all the way from the very smallest CPUs and all the way up to platinum and these are gold CPUs they're the six thousand something series I really forget what CPUs are in there I just remember they're the 16 cores and the three gigahertz I don't remember the number I'll be sure to post I'll be sure to put that in let's get a memory block out of there see what memory we have it's a samsung and this one is a 32 gigabyte 2666 megahertz pretty cool oh here its HP branded so it's a samsung block but I'm HP 24 slots for memory in here so 24 blocks of 32 gigabytes well that's uh that's actually a lot of RAM I believe that is 768 gigabytes so very nice and great controllers down here the rate controller is mounted down here on the system board with a couple of cables that goes up in front to the back plane and there is also a battery up here hoping that the battery is connected to this I would be where I wanted a battery but it seems that there is not a cable for it it must be going through the system board and up to the battery to rise accounts of course when you need these this many HP A's well you need to riser cut so we could just remove one of the riser cut there's a weird system here you you put this up and you turn it half can pop this up so here is the writer this one is equipped with you can kind of see that here it has it has two PCI Express eight and it has a PCI Express 16 in the middle and something new so if we look in here they have hidden away and m dot two slot down here for an nvme drive and if we turn it around to the back we will see that there is another one so in this riser card we can put in two nvme m dot two drives not bad so I'm curious if that's also available on the other slot here so let's see that do not have one on this slot do we have one hidden we don't have one either here so only the first riser card has that availability I'm guessing that that's something you pay extra for and it's available on the first riser but when you buy a second riser well if you want more him dot two slots well you have to buy those extra that's my guess now that we have everything out of you we can see some more down here there's nothing really interesting over here except we have a riser card here you see we have this long one which is for this one and then we have a shorter one which I'm guessing is for a riser card to go over here if we want that third GPU installed so yeah that's the thing otherwise we have the network connections down here we have the chips that control that looks like it's Broadcom let's put this back in so down here we have the flexible Lum card server manufactures has this and they are starting to look like the same cards I have seen the Lum cut or the methylene cards for the Lenovo servers as well and they look very similar this one is four to ten gigabit output ports but the idea is that you get this card a little bit cheaper because well it can't be used for anything else so it doesn't compete with anyone else so I'm not sure what Brandis is but whatever company produces these can produce this cheaper for the HP server because they can only be used for this HP server which is not entirely true because you can kind of take it out and put it in somewhere else but yeah the idea is that you get a cheaper car by occupying down here plus you do not use one of the spaces in the riser card so it's very nicely tucked away down here also over here we have some SAS connectors we actually have three SAS connectors on this system that's more than we usually get we have chosen to get a separate rate controller in here but if you don't select that well it has a built-in rate controller I'm guessing it's underneath this heatsink so you can use these three ports actually these two wires will just go in there and step probably one and to number three don't know what what that is aimed for but well that's there too also there is a couple of SAS connectors down here we have a SAS connector here single SAS four four and four five this one both obsess and power so to SAS connectors they're awesome if we're not gonna be using the MDOT to boot devices we have the option of booting from USB here all we can put in a micro SD card right there another power connector for for the GPU right there that's probably for the GPU that can be placed up here with the special riser card at the power of live one then we have a intruder something thinking here for high security you can put something in there that tiny little connector there and on the back of the cover for the server it says 12 and it says se intrusion detector connector so probably some kind of a switch so that if the cover has been off the server will never I never what you did so this is processor number one and this is processor number two then they have the their RAM the processor number one had six slots of RAM right here and six lots of RAM right here and then processor number to have these six slots and these six slots and this processor has six memory channels that means that to be in balance you need the processor to have one memory bank in each of the six channels which means that you need to put in 6 blocks for each of the processor for it to run well it can run with just one block it will just not be in balance if you then want to expand it for optimal performance well you have to put in 6 small blocks per processor so really for maximum performance this server has to be half full or full of memory blocks and you can kind of see it on the memory circuits here there are white and black so you put in the white ones first and then if you want to expand it you put in the black ones that's for maximum performance if you buy this as an entry-level server you will probably just have one or two blocks if you if you buy two processes you'll probably have one block over here and one block over there and that's how the server comes and if you only buy this with 16 gigs of RAM well one block will will probably survive it would be stupid to divide that's 16 gigabyte and trying and balance that but you do lose some performance if you don't have a balanced system okay so on the back we have to put in these FS P's and I've already discovered that I have forgotten the FS piece for the network connections bang at the company so I'll have another lovely trip down here so we're just gonna pop these in and each of these cars has two so that's the tool 12 if if piece okay that was a quick view at the HP DL 380 generation 10 and as I said this is gonna be a backup server I actually have to go purchase half a petabyte of storage on this thing it's gonna be a for you enclosures which holds 60 drives we are only gonna buy 50 but they're like 10 terabyte drives each so half a pizza bite off of storage to this backup server plus I'm putting in 13 more SSDs and these are some rather big and expensive ones and I haven't bought it yet but I have to go by and I have had I have got the go-ahead to buy that and it's and that's another 150 thousand dollar purchase because it's not just this server that needs that kind of storage it has a pearl it has a buddy if there's a brother which is also getting the same amount and this is a for you storage box for for an HP share and it's going to be local stories and be connected through SAS connectors hope you enjoyed this thank you very much for watching my videos do subscribe to my channel so that you can see Megan and have a really nice day bye [Music]
