HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 rack server 2x Xeon Bronze 3204 32GB DDR4

Dual Xeon Bronze 3204 server

This 2U rackmount system ships with two Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processors running at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It targets IT teams that need a ready-to-deploy compute platform for virtualisation, database or general-purpose workloads. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and a maximum of 3TB of memory. Buyers who need pre-installed storage or GPU acceleration should look elsewhere.

Thermals power and noise

Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy and headroom for the installed CPUs and memory. The Smart Array P408 SAS controller manages SATA drives without adding significant heat. Fans scale with load so acoustics stay low during typical office-hours operation. No integrated graphics workload is present to raise thermal output.

Upgrade path and fit

The platform replaces older dual-socket rack servers that max out at lower memory capacities or lack 10GbE networking. With two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports already fitted, the jump is worthwhile when consolidation or faster storage networking is the goal. The 3TB memory ceiling and eight drive bays leave room for future growth.
