The absence of the memory remap option in the BIOS/UEFI settings for the DL385 Gen10, which uses AMD EPYC processors, is normal as memory remapping is typically managed automatically by the processor architecture rather than being a configurable setting. For further details, consult the server's quick specifications. [community thread]
First, ensure that the M.2 drive is compatible with the server's slot type (NVMe or SATA). Check the BIOS settings to confirm that the slot is enabled and that the storage mode is correctly configured. Additionally, reseat the drive, verify any lane conflicts, and ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed. [community thread]
The NVIDIA RTX A4000 requires a 6-pin power connector, while the DL360 Gen10 server uses an 8-pin mini connector. If using a DL360 Gen10 Plus, the compatible cable is the HPE ProLiant DL36X Gen10 Plus CPU1 A4000 GPU Cable Kit (P50031-B21). For the DL360 Gen10, the GPU is not supported. [community thread]
If your server's memory is operating at a lower frequency, it may be due to the presence of memory modules with different specifications. Ensure that all installed memory modules are of the same speed; if any module has a lower frequency, it will cause the entire system to operate at that lower speed. [community thread]
To ensure your NVME disks are detected, check if the necessary drivers are installed and confirm that the BIOS settings are configured correctly for NVME support. You may refer to online guides for specific instructions on configuring RAID or AHCI settings in the BIOS. [community thread]
The DL385 Gen10 8LFF configuration is limited to 2 SFF cages due to design specifications. If you are encountering issues with the OCA tool, it may not be functioning correctly, as the system supports only 2 SFF rear drive boxes. [community thread]
The DL385 Gen10 server typically comes with a riser that has one full-length and two half-length slots. To accommodate two full-length GPUs, you may need to explore additional riser options or configurations, as the standard setup may not support this arrangement with a single CPU. [community thread]
The DL385 Gen10 and DX385 V10 share the same system board but are optimized for different applications; the DL385 is for general enterprise use while the DX385 is designed for hyperconverged infrastructure with Nutanix. Although they have similar hardware, the DX385 includes specific firmware and software enhancements for Nutanix environments. When replacing parts, ensure compatibility with the intended model and consider any necessary adjustments to the system board's settings. [community thread]
