HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 2U rack server

The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute workloads. It ships with two AMD EPYC 9354 processors, each providing 32 cores at 3.25 GHz with 256 MB L3 cache. Memory capacity is 384 GB across 24 DDR5 modules running at 4800 MT/s. A hot-plug NVMe boot device and dual 1000 W power supplies complete the baseline configuration.

Suited for multi-threaded workloads.

This server suits organisations running virtualisation clusters, container platforms or large-scale databases that benefit from high core counts and memory bandwidth. Buyers who need maximum per-core frequency for lightly threaded applications should evaluate alternative platforms. Environments requiring more than two processor sockets or GPU accelerator bays beyond the supported expansion slots will need a different chassis.

Two AMD EPYC 9354 processors with 32 cores each

The installed CPU pair defines the server's compute ceiling: 32 cores per socket at 3.25 GHz with 256 MB L3 cache apiece. Memory is fixed at 384 GB of DDR5-4800 in a 24-module layout. Storage starts with the NS204i-u NVMe boot device; additional drive bays accept up to eight SFF devices. Networking includes a 25 Gb dual-port SFP28 adapter and a 1 Gb quad-port BASE-T adapter.

Questions about this item

What rack height and fan configuration does the 2U DL385 Gen11 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and ships with six performance fans for cooling.

How are the two EPYC 9354 processors and 24 DDR5 memory modules installed, and what step is often missed?

Both 32-core CPUs are pre-installed; the 24×16 GB DDR5 DIMMs fill every slot at 4800 MT/s, and the common oversight is not confirming the memory training completes on first boot.

Which components will need replacement first in the DL385 Gen11?

The six hot-swap performance fans and the two 1000 W power supplies are the primary field-replaceable units that wear over time.
