Memory slots: 24 DIMM slots up to 2,133MHz.Memory, maximum: 768GB DDR4 HP SmartMemory.Processors: Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 product family.We utilize HP’s two-port PCA FLR 10GbE SFP+ interface card for network connectivity. The Universal Media Bay is not filled in our testing unit, but can optionally be used to house two additional SFF drive bays or an optical drive and front-accessible VGA port. The unit being benchmarked during this review utilizes the 1U D元60 chassis with eight SFF drive bays and is configured with two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 2.6GHz processors, 256GB DDR4 RAM (16 DIMMs of 16GB 2Rx4 PC4-2133) and five SFF 400GB SAS SSDs. Unlike its D元60p Gen8 predecessor, the D元60 Gen9 supports GPUs: up to two single-wide and active cards up to 9.5 inches in length. HP’s latest 12Gb/s Smart Array Controllers and PCIe accelerators are also available for the D元60 Gen9. The new E5-2600 v3 processors are available with up to 18 cores and offer a theoretical performance improvement of up to three times per Watt over Gen8 ProLiant servers. Like the larger 2U D元80 Gen9, the D元60 leverages new Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 processors and up to 768GB of HP’s DDR4 Smart Memory at speeds of up to 2,133MHz, up from the maximum 1,866MHz DDR3 transfers rate of its Gen8 predecessors. The D元60 Gen9 is the new mainstream 1U compute platform in the HP ProLiant family, and in addition to featuring new E5-2600 v3 processors and DD4 memory, the D元60 Gen9 reflects several progressive advancements in HP’s server technology portfolio and the company’s overall vision for converged data centers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.With the availability of Intel’s Xeon E5-2600 v3 family of processors, a variety of server vendors are launching compute platforms that take advantage of the performance increases of the new Xeon architecture.

Does anyone have any idea why the server would allow an upgrade from WS2012 to W2016 without problems but continually crashes when doing a clean install of WS2016? I'm using the same WS install media as I used to do the upgrade.


I tried the clean install again several times but every time I run it the install crashes and loops back to rebooting - doesn't matter if the install media is still loaded or removed. When I did the clean install - wipe old partition etc - the install crashed(after the copy files step) without any message or reason and rebooted. An outside IT technician had problems configuring a DNS service and told me to do a clean install of Windows Server 2016. It was working fine and I decided to make it a domain controller(it was formerly a domain controller in WS 2012). It was no longer being used so I downloaded Windows Server2016 and upgraded it to WS 2016. One of our servers, a Proliant d元60 G6 was running windows server 2012.
