Dual 20-core Xeon rack server

This HP DL380 Gen10 2U rackmount server delivers dual Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors at 2.00GHz with 128GB DDR4 RAM. It targets organisations running virtualisation, databases, file storage and application hosting in a standard rack environment. Four 300GB 15K SAS drives and an integrated P408i-a controller provide the initial storage foundation.

Eight-bay SFF chassis with P408i-a

The 8-bay 2.5" SFF chassis leaves four drive bays open for capacity expansion while the P408i-a 12Gb/s SAS controller manages RAID across installed and future drives. Quad-port 1Gb Ethernet (331FLR) supplies flexible network connectivity without consuming PCIe slots. Integrated graphics and DDR4 memory slots supporting up to 3TB LRDIMM free up expansion space for additional compute or I/O cards.

Sustained enterprise workload operation

Dual 20-core processors maintain consistent throughput for long-running virtualisation and database tasks rather than short burst performance. The 15K SAS drives deliver steady random I/O for transactional workloads over extended periods. Enterprise-grade cooling in the 2U form factor supports continuous operation at the 60 weight specification without thermal throttling during prolonged heavy utilisation.

Questions about this item

What limits sustained performance when both Xeon Gold 6138 processors run at full load?

The 2.00 GHz base clock and 20 cores per processor set the compute ceiling, while the 128 GB DDR4 capacity bounds the working set size for virtualization or database workloads.

How much heat and noise should I expect from the 2U chassis with dual CPUs and four 15K SAS drives running continuously?

Dual 20-core Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs, four 15K SAS drives and the P408i-a controller generate significant heat; the 2U rackmount relies on high-speed internal fans that produce noticeable datacentre-level noise under sustained load.

Which infrastructure items must already be in place for this DL380 Gen10 to operate?

A 2U rack space with front-to-rear cooling, power cords for dual redundant PSUs, and network cables for the quad-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter are required before the server can be powered on.
