HP Proliant Density Line (DL) servers are complete servers specially designed for ultra-compact vertical arrangement within a standardized 19-inch mounting rack or cabinet.

DL rack-mount servers have expansion slots for adding network interface cards (NICs) or Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) cards.

DL servers use floor space efficiently and offer centralised cable and server management.
 
It's important to note that relative to BL server blades and enclosures, rack servers are more limited in the number of new drives and memory you can install however these can be easily housed elsewhere within the rack.
 
Rack servers are generally designed to work as a logical and cohesive whole but without the tight integration found with server blades, which makes rack servers more flexible in some situations. In addition, you can run servers from different manufacturers in the same rack unit because the servers don't share proprietary components.
