8 core server "HP ProLiant ML 150 G5" with 2 Xeon processors supporting GIGAZINE Photo review

GIGAZINE thinking it might be used for something and photographed for internal use "HP ProLiant ML 150 G 5Although it is a picture of (about 280,000 yen), it seems that the next version of the G6 series debuts soon, so I decided to release it.

The feature of this model is that you can install two processors with affordable price as well. So, the CPU of this server chosen this time is quite high spec that it will be 8 cores in total with 2 Xeon 5400 series. There are really powerful when actually two CPUs are stuck in the main board.

So the hardware review of the server with 2 CPUs is from the following. It was sent like this


It is a bit dangerous if you think what will happen if someone else gets stripped off, but the warranty card is pasted in the box.


The details of the server look like this


Immediately, unpacking.


A box containing accessories and accessories


A variety of things are contained like this. I said that I do not need a mouse and keyboard, but I can not deny it.


Anyway, I tried arranging them. There are also three power cords. Is one book a reserve?


I left the server out of the box. It is packed tightly.


front. It is fairly simple feeling.


When you remove the cover of the front part, the hard disk is installed.


Back


I tried removing the redundant power supply


Looking at the terminal part of the power supply looks like a fingerprint ... ... a little shock.


Open the lid to carefully observe the interior of the server.


Further open.


It is also conspicuous that two CPUs



Starting up Linux and displaying the "top" command, 8 cores CPU0 to CPU7 are properly recognized. A wonderful number when I look at it again.


Please note that IBM's previously purchased server "IBM System x3200"It is rather noisy noise at start-up, and when the temperature is high during operation, that is, it becomes noisy when the rotation speed of the fan becomes high. Even if it says, it was the level that it is not that noisy basically basically. After installing FreeBSD or CentOS, it works without problems, so there is no problem as a server. Maintenance is feeling that there is no sense of incompatibility and it is possible to open and close the box, neither is possible nor impossible. Also, this price is quite expensive in terms of satisfaction, because it is reasonably affordable, and it has a sense of profit in this spec. I only pray that it will not break.
