HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 P89239-005 Xeon 6 6517P 16-core 64GB DDR5 480GB NVMe rack server

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.
