HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 748304-S01 2U rack server Xeon E5-2697 v2 12C 2.7GHz 32GB

HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2697 v2 processor running at 2.7GHz and 32GB of RDIMM memory across two 16GB modules. It targets IT teams that need dense compute capacity in a standard rack footprint without pre-installed storage drives. The chassis supports up to two processors and 768GB maximum memory for future scaling.

Sustained load with dual 750W platinum power

Two 750W hot-plug power supplies feed the 130W CPU and expansion cards, delivering stable output during extended virtualization or database workloads. The Smart Array P420i controller with 1GB flash-backed write cache maintains RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 and 5+0 performance across up to eight hot-plug SFF bays. Four 1Gb Ethernet ports handle steady network traffic without saturating the bus.

Tool-less rail install and drive caddy matching

The server slides into a standard rack on tool-less rails; the eight SFF bays accept SAS, SATA or SSD caddies that click in without screws. Three PCIe slots are available for additional NICs or HBAs, but the QuickSpec must be consulted for exact slot lengths and heights. No optical drive or management arm is included, so remote management relies on the integrated iLO interface.
