HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 10-Bay SFF Server

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount server system built for compute-intensive business workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors deliver 40 cores at 2.00GHz for virtualization, databases and application hosting. 128GB DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and data-heavy services. Eight 1.2TB 10K SAS drives provide enterprise-grade storage capacity.

Installation and common issues

The server arrives assembled in a 10-bay SFF chassis with drives and the P816i-a controller pre-installed. Rackmount installation requires compatible rails and sufficient airflow clearance in a standard cabinet. The hardware RAID controller simplifies drive configuration through its management interface. Missing operating system means OS installation and driver loading are required before production use. Stock photos may not match the exact configuration received.

Pre-order checks

Verify rack space for a 2U form factor and confirm power infrastructure supports dual-processor operation. Ensure network infrastructure provides required Ethernet connectivity for management and data traffic. Check that 2.5-inch SAS drive compatibility matches existing storage architecture. Confirm DDR4 memory expansion plans align with the 3TB maximum capacity across available slots. Weight of 60 units requires appropriate lifting equipment and rack load rating.
