Buying a used DL560 Gen11: what to check
Confirm processor configuration (must use 4-socket or 8-socket capable Xeon Scalable SKUs, such as 6500/8500 or 6400/8400 series with 3 or 4 UPI links). Check CPU mezzanine tray condition if expanding from 2 to 4 sockets, verify power supply wattages (four 1600W or 1800-2200W PSUs are typically required for full builds), and verify iLO 6 Advanced licensing.
FAQ
Can the DL560 Gen11 run with only two processors installed?
Yes. It can operate in a 2-socket configuration on the main system board and be upgraded to 4 sockets by adding the CPU mezzanine board and additional processors.
What is the maximum RAM capacity of the DL560 Gen11?
With 64 DDR5 DIMM slots populated with 256GB Octal-Rank modules, maximum memory capacity is 16TB.
Can any Xeon Scalable CPU work in a 4-socket DL560 Gen11?
No. Only Intel Xeon Scalable processors designated for 4-socket or 8-socket topologies (typically 6000 and 8000 series with 3 or 4 UPI links) are supported.
