General-purpose 2U rack server
This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 system ships as a single-processor configuration built around an Intel Xeon 6 6517P running at 3.20 GHz with 16 cores and 72 MB of L3 cache. It includes 64 GB of DDR5 Smart Memory in two 32 GB modules operating at 6400 MT/s. A 480 GB NVMe boot device and a Broadcom BCM5719 four-port 1 GbE adapter are installed. The 2U chassis holds six high-performance hot-swap fans and two 1000 W Flex Slot Titanium power supplies.
Suited for standard workloads needing
The server fits organisations running virtualisation, databases or general-purpose applications that operate within one 190 W processor and 64 GB of memory. The MR408i-o storage controller and eight small-form-factor drive bays support local storage expansion. Buyers who require dual-processor compute density, higher-speed networking beyond 1 GbE, or larger boot capacity should evaluate other configurations.
Deciding specification — single Xeon 6 6517P
The installed processor defines the performance ceiling: 16 cores at 3.20 GHz with a 190 W TDP and no second CPU populated. If the target workload scales across more than 16 cores or demands a higher base frequency, this chassis will not meet the requirement without a processor upgrade. All other capabilities — memory slots, PCIe Gen5 lanes, OCP 3.0 slots and drive bays — are secondary to that CPU constraint.

Questions about this item
What rack depth and height does the 2U DL380 Gen12 chassis require?
The server occupies 2U of rack height and fits standard 19-inch racks; allow space for six high-performance hot-swap fans and front-to-rear airflow.
How is the OCP 3.0 adapter installed, and what step is often missed?
Insert the Broadcom BCM5719 1Gb 4-port BASE-T OCP3 adapter into an OCP 3.0 slot and seat the retention latch fully; the latch click is the step many skip.
When should the NS204i-u v2 480GB NVMe boot device be replaced?
Replace the hot-plug NVMe boot device when SMART health indicators show wear or after the rated write endurance is reached; it can be swapped without powering down.
