HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen 10 EPYC 7xx3 / Zen 3 support?

[cgiesers]

Hello guys!

We have an DL385 Gen 10 server with a first generation EPCY running.

HPE released newer firmware to support EPCY 7xx2 / Zen 2, but yet didn't do that for EPYC 7xx3 / Zen 3 architecture. Any chance to get an information about plans there? I'd like to upgrade to a Zen 3 based model of course but don't know if there will be support and can't find any information about that.

Zen 2 would be the 2nd choice, though I'm not in a hurry yet.

Regards, Christof

Hello AmRa!

What's the point of your answer and how does it target my question in any way?

[AmRa]

Will you let us know which EPYC 7xx3 / Zen 3  model support you are looking for?

[cgiesers]

The gerneral support of that generation. If HPE includes one, they most likely include all HPE generally offers.

Specifically looking for Epyc 7313 or Epyc 7313p support to upgrade the exising server.

[AmRa]

As of now there is no plan to upgrade Epyc 7313 or Epyc 7313p on exising server (HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen 10).

However you can refer HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Server - Option Parts, if there are new processors added it will add to supported processor list under option parts list.

I know that there are _yet_ no 7xx3 CPUs supported,, that's why I'm asking about plans/roadmap. I already expected HPE to only make V2 series compatible, but I won't change a whole server for that.

As there are no plans, I'd probably stick with an upgrade to EPYC 7262 or 7302.

I know this is a bit old, but I am facing the same issue.

Based on the latest bios update, launched in February 2025, HPE added support for the Milan family of CPU's for the HPE DL385 V10.

"Important Notes:

This revision of the System ROM includes AMD reference code MilanPI 1.0.0.F for AMD 3rd Generation EPYC processors. This revision of the System ROM includes AMD reference code RomePI 1.0.0.L for AMD 2nd Generation EPYC processors.

Details about reported security vulnerabilities and their mitigation can be found at the following link Security Bulletin Library | HPE Support.

Deliverable Name:

HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen10 System ROM - A40

Release Version:

3.42_02-21-2025"

Can someone confirm this?

Also, what is the highest-performing CPU from this family, supported by the DL385 V10? I read somewhere there was a 200W limit for the CPU for the Gen 2 EPYC but I don't know if that is accurate.

Thank you

I completely disagree with that. It's perfectly placed here, as people (still) watch this and get a poke if "movement" happens.

I'd still consider upgrading our system to Zen 3 at some point, if possible. That would also make it more likely to upgrade the current storage components.
