HPE ProLiant DL380p G8 rack server

This 2U rack server ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2630 hexa-core processor running at 2.30 GHz and 16 GB of DDR3 memory. It targets businesses needing a reliable dual-socket platform for virtualization, database or file-serving workloads. The chassis supports a second processor for future capacity growth.

Thermals noise and 460W power supply

A single 460W power supply feeds the installed components while the C600 chipset manages power distribution across 24 memory slots and the onboard P420i controller. Fan speeds adjust to the single-processor thermal profile, keeping acoustic output low in typical office or rack environments. Redundant power is not included in this base configuration.

Sustained load behaviour with SAS RAID

Under continuous demand the six cores and 15 MB cache maintain steady throughput for multi-threaded applications. The integrated P420i controller handles RAID 0 and 1 across Serial Attached SCSI drives without a dedicated cache module. Memory bandwidth scales across all populated slots, avoiding bottlenecks during prolonged compute or storage tasks.

Questions about this item

How do I install a second processor in the DL380p G8, and which step is often missed?

Power down, open the tool-less lid, seat the second Xeon E5-2630 in the empty socket, close the lever, then populate the corresponding DDR3 slots so the new memory channels become active

What maintenance or replacement will this server need later?

The six-core Xeon at 2.30 GHz and 15 MB cache runs continuously, so plan to clean the 2U chassis fans and replace the 460 W power supply if its output degrades over time

What limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads?

With only 16 GB of DDR3 across 24 slots and a single 460 W PSU, memory capacity or power headroom will bottleneck before the SAS RAID 0 or 1 controller saturates
