Dual-processor rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3GHz. Each CPU provides 16 cores and 22MB of cache for multi-threaded workloads. The system ships with 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed. It targets IT departments building virtualisation hosts or database nodes that need high core counts in a standard rack footprint.

Controller and networking bundle

A Smart Array P408 SAS controller is fitted to manage up to eight 2.5-inch SATA drive bays. Networking is handled by an Intel I350/X540 card delivering two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy. HPE iLO Advanced remote management is included for out-of-band monitoring and firmware updates. No storage drives or rail kit are installed by default.

Maximum memory capacity

The platform supports up to 3TB of DDR4 memory across its DIMM slots. The current 128GB configuration leaves substantial headroom for memory-intensive applications. Buyers who need the full 3TB capacity must populate additional slots with compatible registered ECC modules. The two-processor limit is already reached, so CPU upgrades are not possible.

Questions about this item

Will the 128 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory need matched modules if I expand toward the 3 TB limit?

The board supports up to 3 TB using DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs; add modules in matched pairs per processor to keep performance balanced.

Which component hits its ceiling first when both Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs run at 2.3 GHz under continuous load?

The two 500 W Flex Slot power supplies set the sustained power envelope; thermal throttling on the 16-core processors activates before memory or storage limits are reached.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with dual 500 W supplies and the Smart Array P408 running 24/7?

Redundant 500 W Flex Slot fans spin up under load, producing noticeable airflow noise; the iLO Advanced interface reports inlet and exhaust temperatures in real time.
