Workload-fit server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y processor, 16 cores at 2.00 GHz, and 128 GB of DDR5 memory across four 32 GB modules. The platform supports a second processor and up to 8 TB of memory for future growth.

Storage controller and capacity

A single HPE MR408i-o Gen11 x8 Lanes 4GB Cache OCP SPDM controller manages the installed 4.8 TB, provided by two 2.4 TB drives. The server offers 32 memory slots and a maximum of two processors, giving clear headroom for storage and compute expansion.

Thermal and power profile

The included Xeon Silver 4514Y carries a 150 W thermal design power, setting the baseline for cooling and power-supply planning in a 2U chassis. DDR5 memory operates at 5600 MT/s, and the Broadcom BCM5719 Ethernet controller handles network traffic without adding significant heat. The rack form factor directs airflow front-to-rear for consistent temperature control.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.00 GHz Xeon Silver 4514Y actually deliver in a live workload?

The 16-core processor runs at a base 2.00 GHz with a 30 MB L3 cache and a 150 W TDP, giving steady multi-threaded throughput for virtualization, databases and general-purpose tasks.

How does the MR408i-o Gen11 x8 lanes controller limit storage performance?

The x8 PCIe link caps the controller at eight lanes, so the two 2.4 TB drives share that bandwidth; peak throughput is limited to the PCIe generation supported by the CPU and the controller firmware.

What rack depth and rails are needed to mount this 2U chassis?

The server is a standard 2U rack unit; it requires a four-post rack with sufficient depth for the chassis and the HPE sliding rail kit that matches the DL380 Gen11 mounting holes.
