HPE ProLiant DL380 G10 Plus 2U Rack Server P55248-B21 1x Xeon Gold 5315Y 3.20 GHz 8-Core 32GB DDR4 8 SFF 800W

Server configuration and target use

This HPE ProLiant DL380 G10 Plus is a 2U rack server delivered with one Intel Xeon Gold 5315Y processor running at 3.20 GHz across eight cores. It includes 32 GB of DDR4 registered memory in a single DIMM, leaving 31 slots free for expansion up to 2 TB. The MR416i-p controller provides 12 Gb/s SAS connectivity with RAID support across eight hot-swappable SFF bays. An 800 W power supply and three PCIe 4.0 slots complete the baseline configuration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Organisations deploying Windows Server 2016 or 2019, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9, or Hyper-V will find certified operating-system support. The single-socket layout with a second processor socket available suits workloads that can grow from eight to sixteen cores without a chassis change. Buyers who require more than two processors or who need a different drive interface than the 12 Gb/s SAS backplane should evaluate alternative platforms.

Deciding specification: 8 SFF SAS bays

The eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays connect to the MR416i-p RAID controller over 12 Gb/s SAS. This combination fixes the storage interface and the maximum number of internal drives the server can hold. If the application demands a different protocol, more than eight internal drives, or a controller not listed here, this chassis will not meet the requirement.
