Dual Xeon Platinum 8160 compute

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 arrives with two Intel Xeon Platinum 8160 processors running at 2.1 GHz, delivering 24 cores per socket and 33 MB cache each. It is built for virtualization hosts, database clusters, and heavy multi-threaded workloads that demand high core density in a 2U rack footprint. Buyers who need single-thread frequency above 3 GHz or GPU-accelerated AI training will not find that profile here.

Thermals noise and power

Dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies feed the platform while integrated fans manage airflow across the 512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory and CPU sockets. The system ships with BIOS and firmware updated to the latest stable version and passes full burn-in diagnostics before dispatch. No liquid-cooling loops or silent-tuned profiles are included, so expect typical rack-mount acoustic output under sustained load.

Build and connectivity

The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays backed by a Smart Array P408 controller, while networking is handled by an Intel I350/X540 card providing two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports. Remote management runs through HPE iLO Advanced for out-of-band control. A rail kit is available on request; without it, mounting in standard square-hole racks requires separate hardware.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Xeon Platinum 8160 processors and what step is often missed?

Both CPUs are already installed in the two sockets. The step people miss is updating the system BIOS and iLO firmware before first boot so the 24-core 2.1 GHz processors are recognised with their full 33 MB cache.

What maintenance or replacement will the 512 GB DDR4 memory need later?

The DDR4 ECC registered modules are rated for the server lifetime. Only a failed DIMM would need replacement; the chassis supports up to 3 TB if you add more sticks later.

What limit appears first when the Smart Array P408 controller runs sustained SAS workloads?

The P408 SAS controller and the 2.5-inch drive bays set the throughput ceiling. With no drives installed the limit is the controller’s eight lanes, so sustained speed tops out at the SAS link rate.
