Dual Xeon E5-2690 v2 server

The HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 709943-001 is a 2U rack-mount system built for organisations that need dense compute in a standard cabinet. It ships with two Xeon E5-2690 v2 processors, each running at 3.0GHz with 10 cores and 25MB cache. The platform supports a maximum of two processors and provides 24 DDR3 memory slots for expansion.

Sustained load behaviour

Each CPU carries a 130W thermal design, so the pair draws significant power under continuous multi-threaded workloads. The unit includes two 750W Platinum Plus hot-plug supplies rated at 94% efficiency to maintain stable delivery during extended runs. DDR3-1866 memory operates at 8.0GT/s QPI to keep data moving between sockets without throttling.

Practical interface limits

Storage connects through a Smart Array P420i controller with 2GB flash-backed write cache, supporting RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5, 5+0, 6 and 6+0 across SATA and SAS drives. The six 2.5-inch hot-swap bays accept SFF media only. Networking is handled by a FlexFabric 10Gb two-port 533FLR-T adapter, while expansion is limited to six slots and graphics output uses the onboard Matrox G200 controller.

Questions about this item

How much heat and power should I expect from the two Xeon E5-2690 v2 CPUs running continuously?

Each Xeon E5-2690 v2 has a 130 W thermal design power; the system includes two 750 W platinum power supplies rated at 94 % efficiency to handle the load.

Which drive caddies or backplane parts must I already have to populate the 2.5-inch bays?

The server ships with six SFF hard-drive blanks; you will need compatible 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive carriers to install your own drives.

Can I keep using my existing DDR3 ECC RDIMMs alongside the installed 32 GB?

The 24 DIMM slots support DDR3-1866 registered ECC modules; you can add matching sticks up to the 384 GB maximum capacity.
