 DL160 Gen10 Base Knowledge
HPE Gen10 DL160 is a 2 Socket 16 DDR4 DIMM server that can support LFF and SFF Drives. With two chassis options to choose from you can surely get the desired configuration you need for your system at a great price. The 8 SFF with optional support for an additional 2 SFF SAS/SATA HDD/SSD can also swap the Additional 2SFF for an Optical Disk Drive (ODD). To install the ODD, you will need the HPE 1U Gen10 8SFF Optical Disk Drive Enablement Kit (873961-B21). If you want to install the additional 2SFF you will need the HPE 1U Gen10 2SFF SAS/SATA FIO Enablement Kit without Cables (881179-B21). Cables can be found in the cable section of the CTO.

The 2 Socket DL160 Gen10 Rack Server supports the Intel Xeon Gen1 and Gen2 Processors. The memory speed will be based on the CPU you install. The mixing of processors is not supported. The mixing of RDIMM and LRDIMM memory is not supported and the DL160 can support up to 16 DIMMs on a Dual Socket configuration.

• Maximum capacity (LRDIMM) 1.0 TB 16 x 64 GB LRDIMM @ 2933 MT/s
• Maximum capacity (RDIMM) 1.0 TB 16 x 64 GB RDIMM @ 2933 MT/s

The DL160 comes with an Embedded 14-port S100i Storage Controller. HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 SW RAID will operate in UEFI mode only. For legacy support an additional controller will be needed. HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 SW RAID is off by default and must be enabled with the HPE Enable Smart Array SW RAID (784308-B21).

This Rack Server supports Type-A Smart Array Controllers. When installing this type of controller, the secondary PCI riser can’t be installed. If you install a Performance Smart Array in the DL160 Gen10 Rack server. You will need to install the HPE 96W Smart Storage Lithium-ion Battery with a 145mm Cable Kit (P01366-B21). Which Supports up to 6 P-class Smart Array controllers. The HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor with 145mm Cable Kit (P02377-B21) is the other option and it supports up to 3 P-class Smart Array controllers.

HPE DL160 Gen10 M.2 Drives
If you want to install M.2 Drives you will need the HPE Universal SATA 6G AIC HL M.2 SSD Enablement Kit (878783-B21) as well as the HPE DL160 Gen10 SATA M.2 Cable Kit (866456-B21). The M.2 Stand-up card can be installed in any PCI slot. If installed in Slot 3 with the Second CPU installed, you will need to use the longer cable to reach it.

HPE DL160 Gen10 PCI Risers
The DL160 Gen10 has 3 PCIe slots with slots 1 and 2 on a Butterfly Riser with two different Riser Card options. While the 3^rd PCIe slot is a low-profile Riser that requires a second Processor. If you installed if type-a modular smart array controller you are not able to install the second PCIe Riser. The Type-a smart array takes up the same section of the 1U Rack Server.
