The DL380 Gen8 server Hard Drive back plane is designed to work on 6G and 12G Speeds .It is depends on storage controller and hard drives which is used in the server .

dl380 g8 25SFF , 12Gb or 6Gb?
Hi all, What speed of backplane expander at dl 380 g8 25SFF, 12Gb or 6Gb? In the documentaion (https://hwf.com.ua/content/uploads/files/user-guide-hpe-proliant-dl380e-generation8-gen8.pdf) page 95 ilustrated two mini-sas ports, so this two ports are four lanes with 6Gb or 12Gb per lane? And...
Not only that is not true the person who said that is retarded. You can't push 12G speeds trough the cabling on that backplane. It would do 10G at best and the controller would negotiate to 6G. They can claim whatever they want but you can't beat physics. Sff-8087 is not capable of 12G speeds.Quote from HPE forum

They tried to pull this bullshit on their G9s too using 8087 backplanes with 12G 8087 cards and it was the exact same thing. Io errors and 6G negotiation.
if going the path of buying originaly sas2 hardware and upgrade it im again a fan of shelves tbh
When im buying 30-40 24LFF shelves its at times cheaper to take 40x 24LFF sas2 and 20x 24SFF sas3.
Pick the 40 sas3 modules to put one in each 24LFF and throw away most of the SFF chassises.
(Most only use them for jbod with top module so rare to have anybody wanting 2nd one)
By how focused they are on cables on the G9 when adding the card ive just assumed they are higher rated for the 12g 8087 skus.

I hate the route of the 12G expander card instead of having the option for one large SFF backplane so much.

Hi
What CPU does the Server Support?
I have currently 2x
with an ESXi who replace the Win OS who shown here.
Do I need an special Screw driver to be precise with the tourqe when I swap the CPU?
I just dont want to damage the Server since I invest a lot of money in small thinks like Adapter and so one.

The are currently sell on ebay for EUR 24,20.

All v3 and v4 aswell as QS.
No requirement. The screws have a spring, they have the right amount of pressure. The screws are all the way down. Torque has nothing to do with pressure of the cooler.
Wikipedia say I use:
So that mean one of them:
Intel Xeon (Broadwell) – Wikipedia ?
(Sorry for the German Link but for the Table it dont matter I would say.)
Do you know what the max TDP is who the server can handle and run quiet?
I must look into the ESXi manual what the max for the free esxi is.

Yes, I run 2 x 2660v4 and tested a 2690v4 as well. However its mentioned in the manual.
No limit. You can manually overwrite the fan speed. I have no issues running the 2x 2660v4 at 26% fan speed under full load.
There is no limitations on memory or sockets. As I recall there was a limit on vCPUs per VM of 8.
@Your name or
@Xeroxxx
The CPU support is indeed a bit of a nuisance with ESXi or VMWare in general. There are workarounds, but I do not know if they are applicable to all CPU's. I scrapped ESXi on all my servers due to that, and also due to the everchanging upgrade method. This was on ESXi version 6 through 7, mind you.
Every time there was an upgrade, if you wanted it you could not do it via the interface, always get the upgrade files and apply it on the physical machine or via Console (IBMC for Huawei). ... and always adding the switch "allowlegacycpu" to the installation script. If you don't mind throwing CLI commands at the server, there are ways to upgrade it, but they seemed to change with every released update. I documented all the ways I did this and was able to compare over time. The command syntax was often different.

Maybe it is better now with version 8?

There are no issues with ESXi 7, all v3 and v4 CPUs are supported. You may have to set allowlegacycpu on ESXi 8 Update 2, as it requires XSAVE. XSAVE comes with Intel Sandy Bridge. You may have to set it for V3.
v4 is fully supported without any restrictions.

Must have missed that. Sorry if I mislead anyone... it was mostly relevant for my old HPE servers running X5690.
After checking again, it seems all my current servers have compatible CPU's, those in my signature.
Still worth taking in to consideration when getting a server or upgrading CPU's.
Hopefully until I have to buy a new one many year will pass by.
31,95€ each.
So a good deal?Do I need to change anything after installing the CPU?
Thanks!
Mine are:
I wonder if E5-2683v4 can be upgraded one step more... https://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Xeon/Intel-Xeon E5-2683 v4.html#rel_cpus , 2699, 2698... hmmm
Looking at HW Comp chart: Computing Product Compatibility Checker
2699 is expensive, but there are others...2697 with 18 Cores. Maybe a x-mas present for the server...do I need 4 more cores and 200Mhz more... ? Na, more RAM is better.
16 Cores, for additional 10€

I bought a set of rails for that server from them a while ago, but now I got another one and they don't have those rails in stock anymore, that's why I was wondering if anyone knew if any other ones would be compatible.
