HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 2U Rack Server

This HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 is a 2U rack-mountable server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2630 processor running at 2.3GHz with six cores and twelve threads. The board supports a second processor for dual-socket scaling and includes sixteen gigabytes of DDR3 memory across four 4GB modules.

DDR3 Memory Limits And Expansion

The server uses DDR3 memory only and provides twenty-four DIMM slots with a maximum capacity of 768GB. Advanced ECC and online spare features protect data integrity during operation. Memory speed and rank population rules follow the Xeon E5-2630 specifications, so larger configurations require matching modules in the correct slots.

Storage Controller And Drive Bay Check

The integrated HP Smart Array P420i controller with 1GB flash-backed write cache manages SATA and SAS drives through RAID levels zero, one, one-zero, five and five-zero. No hard drives are installed and the chassis uses hot-swap 2.5-inch bays. Verify that your caddies, backplane cables and drive carriers match the Gen8 2.5-inch form factor before ordering.
