On ProLiant Gen8 and higher, you have Intelligent Provisioning – the replacement for SmartStart – embedded on the system, but this isn’t available on G7, so the user needs to manually install Windows according to the Implementing Microsoft Windows Server 2012 technical whitepaper. Since HP SmartStart CD went the way of the dodo bird before Windows 2012 R2 was released, HP ProLiants older than a Gen8 require administrators to manually install Windows 2012 R2. Storage: 2 x 600GB HP 10k SAS hot-swap hard disks (max.Installing Windows 2012 R2 on ProLiant D元80 G7 without SmartStart Memory: 32GB 1600MHz RDIMM DDR3 memory expandable to 384GB (768GB with LRDIMMs) Storage capacity and expansion potential are very good and HP’s iLO4 and its new remote management strategy really make this server stand out. The new ProLiant D元80p Gen8 is capable of taking on a wide range of roles in the datacentre as it has versatility as its middle name. Internal design and build quality are exemplary and the new iLO4 delivers the best remote management features currently available. The D元80 has always been HP's star player in its rack server line-up and the new Gen8 model strengthens its position even further.
These are very easy to remove and replace and have the added advantage of not requiring a PCI-e slot. We had the quad Gigabit version but HP also offers a dual 10GbE card or a 10/40Gbps FlexFabric module. Network options have been improved as HP's FlexLOM cards slot in at the back of the server.

We had the full 2GB FBWC (flash backed write cache) module which comes with a fast charging capacitor. The embedded Smart Array P420i in the D元80p links up with the motherboard's pair of SAS 2 ports and offers a good choice of cache memory. Other differences to the D元80p performance' models are they support lower cost E5-2400 Xeons and have 12 DIMM slots for a maximum memory capacity of 384GB. The new D元80e efficiency' models focus more on capacity as they have 12 LFF or 25 SFF drive bays. We had the eight SFF drive model but if you add the second expansion cage you'll also need an extra RAID PCI-e card. Storage capacity hasn't changed since the D元80 G7 as the server still supports up to 16 SFF or eight LLF drives.
HP's new Intelligent Provisioning is very welcome as it streamlines OS installation immensely. We were pleased to see this but it's been a long time coming as Dell introduced a similar feature more than three years ago.
HP's new Intelligent Provisioning means you don't need to boot the server with the SmartStart DVD to load an OS anymore. It links up with HP's new SmartMemory and SmartDrive devices and if it identifies a problem, arranges for replacement memory and hard drives to be ordered in advance. Originally introduced in the seventh generation ProLiants, HP has now added around 28 thermal sensors throughout the server and on its own PCI-e and mezzanine cards.ĪHS monitors over 1,600 system parameters and stores up to 1GB of diagnostics data which can be securely downloaded to HP support for faster problem resolution. Server monitoring gets even more sophisticated with HP's Sea of Sensors 3D. HP's Sea of Sensors 3D provides a wealth of information about all server components. The iLO4 web interface sees a minor redesign with more information on major components including storage and RAID.

These provide enhanced health monitoring plus power and thermal controls and offer an app for smartphone remote management.
This 2U rack server introduces the new iLO4 embedded controller which comes as standard with HP's Agentless Management, Active Health System (AHS) and Embedded Remote Support features. In this review we put HP's ProLiant D元80p Gen8 flagship and general all round workhorse on the lab bench.
