HP DL380 Gen10 8B SFF 2× Xeon Gold 6134 32GB DDR4 8× 1.92TB SATA SSD

Dual-processor rack server

The HP DL380 Gen10 is a 2U rackmount system equipped with two Intel Xeon Gold 6134 processors, each running at 3.20GHz with eight cores. It ships with 32GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1.92TB SATA SSDs managed by a P408i-a controller. This configuration targets businesses that need consolidated virtualization, database or application hosting capacity in a standard rack.

Thermals and power

Dual processors and eight drives generate significant heat inside the 2U chassis, so the integrated fan array runs continuously to maintain safe inlet temperatures. Power draw scales with CPU utilisation and drive activity, and the four 1Gb Ethernet ports on the 331FLR adapter add a modest but constant load. Operators should plan for adequate rack airflow and redundant power circuits to match the sustained demand.

Build and connectivity

The server uses eight 2.5-inch drive bays, all populated with the supplied SSDs, leaving no internal bays free for expansion without removing drives. The P408i-a controller provides 12Gb/s SAS connectivity to the backplane, while the quad-port 1Gb NIC offers link aggregation or segregated traffic options. Front-panel LEDs indicate power, network and USB status for quick health checks. Buyers who need more than eight drives or 10Gb networking must add expansion cards or external enclosures.
