2U Dual Xeon Server for Virtualised Workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 742818-S01 is a 2U rack system built around two Intel Xeon E5-2690 processors running at 2.9GHz with a 3.8GHz max turbo frequency. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR3-1600 memory and an HP Smart Array P420i controller with 1GB flash-backed write cache provide a balanced platform for virtualised workloads and database applications.

Suited for dense compute.

This server suits organisations consolidating multiple virtual machines or running memory-intensive databases within an 8-bay 2.5-inch SAS enclosure. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, single-threaded frequency above 3.8GHz or more than 32GB of installed memory should look at alternative configurations.

8-bay 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap backplane

The chassis supports up to eight small-form-factor SAS drives with hot-swap capability, and the P420i controller handles RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 and 5+0. This storage interface and bay count determine whether the system fits the intended array layout.

Questions about this item

Does the Smart Array P420i controller support RAID 5 across the eight SFF hot-swap bays?

Yes, the P420i with 1 GB FBWC supports RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 and 5+0 on the eight 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap bays.

Will the FlexLOM 331FLR adapter negotiate 1 Gb/s links with my existing Cat 5e patch panel?

The four-port 331FLR FlexLOM is a 1 Gb/s Ethernet adapter and will auto-negotiate down to 1 Gb/s on Cat 5e cabling.

How can I confirm the two Xeon E5-2690 processors are reaching their 3.8 GHz turbo frequency under load?

Use the iLO Management Engine Standard to monitor real-time CPU frequency and verify cores hit 3.8 GHz during sustained workloads.
