HP DL380 Gen10 8B SFF 2x Xeon Gold 6132 128GB DDR4 8x 1.92TB SSD

Dual Xeon Gold 6132 virtualization server

This HP DL380 Gen10 2U rackmount server ships with two 14-core Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors running at 2.60GHz base with 3.70GHz turbo. The 128GB DDR4 memory and eight 1.92TB SATA SSDs are configured for virtualization, database and backup workloads. An HP P408i-a SAS controller and quad-port 1Gb Ethernet adapter are included for storage and network connectivity.

Rack space power and controller compatibility

Verify that your rack can accommodate a 2U form factor and that the facility power circuits meet the server's requirements. Confirm the HP P408i-a 12Gb/s SAS controller matches your existing storage topology and that the four 1Gb Ethernet ports suit your network infrastructure. The eight 2.5-inch hot-swap trays accept SATA SSDs; ensure any additional drives use the same interface.

Thermals noise and power draw

Dual 14-core processors and eight SSDs generate significant heat; the 2U chassis relies on internal fan arrays for cooling under load. Expect audible fan noise typical of enterprise rackmount equipment in a data-centre environment. Power consumption scales with CPU utilisation and storage activity; plan circuit capacity accordingly for continuous operation.
