HPE / PRODUCT DETAILS
See what is installed, then compare it with the platform limits. The maximum supported configuration may be different from what ships with this unit.
KEY SPECIFICATIONS / 01
Match the processor generation, socket population and required heatsink.
HPE / ORDER & INSTALLATION DETAILS
Keep the system SKU, option P/N and spare P/N distinct.
Check the chassis generation and original HPE installation kits.
Separate factory hardware, optional management software and support.

HOW THIS PRODUCT FITS YOUR SYSTEM
Choose how you plan to use this product.
Match the processor generation, socket population and required heatsink.
Check the installed modules, supported type and population rules.
Use this checklist to describe the change. The host system and full configuration determine which parts will fit.
YOUR QUOTE REQUEST
Add the quantity, options and installation details you want us to quote.
Confirm the exact manufacturer part number, host compatibility and included components. Optional software is quoted separately only when requested.
SUPPORT & REPLACEMENT
Check support dates, replacement options and whether continued use still makes sense.
We do not have confirmed sales and support dates for this part number.
Send us the full ProLiant Compute XD685 order code, software release and support details before planning long-term use.
Ask us to check the current sales and support statusProducts with similar names or connectors may still be incompatible. Compare the full specifications, installed system and software requirements.
Compare related products These products may be related, but we have not confirmed them as replacements.USING HARDWARE RESPONSIBLY
Consider repairability, remaining support and actual operating demand. Extending service life is useful only when the equipment still meets your security and reliability requirements.
Use measured average input power for the same workload. PSU ratings and processor TDP are different from total system power.
Energy difference = (current W − proposed W) × hours × units ÷ 1,000. Excludes cooling, embodied emissions and purchase costs.CONNECTION DETAILS
Choose the host adapters around the workload and the storage protocol. A server NIC, Fibre Channel HBA and SAS HBA serve different connections.
Browse the categories above for related equipment, then send us the full configuration so we can check the fit.

02 / ARCHITECTURE
A 5U AMD EPYC AI server with manufacturer-documented liquid-cooled HGX B200 and B300 configurations.
NVIDIA SXM accelerator modules. These names alone do not identify a complete server.
An eight-GPU NVL8 baseboard/platform integrated into a named NVIDIA or OEM system.
The complete named system on this page, with its own chassis, CPU, cooling, power and orderable configuration.
An unrelated Cisco blade-server model. It is not an NVIDIA B200 GPU system.
Confirm rack width/depth, rail type, service clearance, floor loading and a rated material lift.
Validate voltage, connectors, branch capacity, redundancy and sustained/peak rack power from the final BOM.
Match air or liquid cooling, CDU and facility-water requirements, hose routing and leak detection.
Validate GPU fabric, management, storage, optics, cable topology and switch-port counts separately.
Yes. This page identifies the complete named system. B200/B300 alone identifies a GPU; HGX identifies the integrated eight-GPU platform.
No. The written quotation lists the GPU generation, CPU, memory, storage, fabric, cooling, power and support.
These systems require configuration, regional power, cooling, support and delivery validation. A low generic catalog price would be misleading.
