In pictures: Taking apart Hewlett-Packard's Proliant DL380 G5 server

We get up close and personal with the HP Proliant DL380 G5, one of the world's best selling servers.

The SmartArray controller is used to drive the hard disks. It takes up one of the PCI slots, leaving four free. Standard configurations include 256MB or 512MB of read/write cache. There is a battery upgrade available for those who want a Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) so that cached data isn't lost in the event of a power failure.
