Dual Xeon E5-2630 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 is a 2U rackmount server system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2630 processors. Each CPU runs at 2.3 GHz with six cores and twelve threads. The chassis includes sixteen gigabytes of DDR3 memory across four modules and a Smart Array P420i controller with flash-backed write cache.

Suits Virtualisation Hosts Not High-Frequency

This platform fits teams consolidating multiple virtual machines on a two-socket box with room to grow memory to 768 GB across twenty-four slots. The 95 W processors favour throughput over single-thread speed so workloads needing maximum clock rate will not benefit. Buyers who need installed storage drives should look elsewhere as the chassis ships without hard drives.

Smart Array P420i With FBWC Decides RAID Options

The integrated HP Smart Array P420i controller provides one gigabyte of flash-backed write cache and supports RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 and 5+0 across SATA and SAS drives. This specification determines whether the server can meet your data-protection and performance requirements without adding a separate controller card.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy SAS or SATA drives separately because the server ships with no hard drive installed?

Yes, the unit arrives with zero drives fitted; you must supply 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives for the eight SFF bays.

Will my existing PCIe 2.0 expansion cards work in the three PCIe slots?

The three PCIe slots accept PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 cards, so older PCIe 2.0 adapters will function normally.

How can I confirm the Smart Array P420i controller is healthy after installation?

During POST the P420i reports its 1 GB FBWC status, and the iLO interface shows controller firmware version and battery health.
