Dual 20-Core Xeon Server for Memory-Intensive
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 ships with two Xeon Gold 5218R processors running at 2.1 GHz, each providing 20 cores and 27.5 MB cache. A total of 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the chassis. The integrated Smart Array P408 SAS controller manages up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays, and dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundant power. Remote administration is handled through HPE iLO Advanced with firmware already updated to the latest stable version.
Suited for Virtualisation Hosts and Database Nodes
This configuration targets organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases or compute-heavy applications. The dual-processor layout maximises thread density within a 2U rack footprint. Buyers who require pre-installed storage, GPU acceleration or a different memory total should look at alternative configurations, as the unit arrives without drives and with the memory capacity fixed at 384 GB.
384 GB DDR4 ECC Registered Memory Installed
The system includes 384 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, which determines the maximum virtual-machine density and in-memory dataset size the server can support out of the box. The platform can scale to 3 TB, but the installed amount is the immediate constraint for workloads that must run without additional memory procurement. Verify that your application footprint fits within this capacity before deployment.

Questions about this item
Will the 384GB DDR4 configuration hit the 3TB memory ceiling under heavy workloads?
The server supports up to 3TB DDR4, so the installed 384GB leaves ample headroom for future expansion.
How much heat do the dual 5218R CPUs and 500W power supplies generate during continuous operation?
Two Xeon Gold 5218R processors at 2.1 GHz and dual 500W Flex Slot supplies are cooled by the Gen10 chassis fans; acoustic and thermal output scales with load.
Which drive trays and caddies are required to populate the 2.5-inch bays?
The chassis accepts up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drives; compatible HPE drive carriers must be sourced separately.
