Server System for Enterprise Workloads
This HP DL380 Gen10 2U rackmount server combines dual Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors with 64GB of DDR4 memory and eight 1.92TB SATA SSDs. The P408i-a controller manages the hot-swap drive bays for RAID configurations. It is built for business workloads such as virtualization, databases, file storage, backups and application hosting.
Suits Virtualization and Database Hosts.
Organizations running multiple virtual machines, heavy database instances or mixed application workloads will benefit from the 40 total cores and large memory capacity. Buyers who need dedicated GPU acceleration for rendering, AI training or high-performance computing should look at a different platform because this unit only provides integrated graphics.
8-Bay 2.5-Inch Hot-Swap Chassis Decides Fit
The server holds exactly eight 2.5-inch drives in hot-swap trays connected to the P408i-a SAS controller. If your deployment requires more than eight drive slots, 3.5-inch bays or a different form factor, this chassis will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 8x 1.92TB SATA SSDs into the 2.5" hot-swap bays and what step is often missed?
Slide each SSD into a tray until the latch clicks, insert the tray into any of the 8 bays until it locks, then configure the P408i-a RAID controller in BIOS before the OS sees the volumes.
What maintenance will the 2x Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs and 64GB DDR4 memory need later?
Clean the chassis air filters every few months; the CPUs and DDR4 DIMMs have no scheduled replacement, but a failed DIMM or CPU can be swapped individually without replacing the pair.
Which limit appears first when the 8x 1.92TB SATA SSDs run sustained writes through the P408i-a controller?
The SATA SSDs hit their write-endurance and steady-state throughput ceiling before the P408i-a 12Gb/s SAS link or the 2x Xeon Gold 6138 CPUs become the bottleneck.
