Virtualization Rack Server
This HP DL380 Gen10 2U rackmount server is configured for virtualization, database and application hosting workloads. Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6138 processors deliver 40 total cores at 2.00GHz for multi-threaded performance. 64GB of DDR4 memory supports multiple virtual machines and services. Four 300GB 15K SAS drives provide fast storage for operating systems and active data sets.
Suited for dense compute deployments
Buyers who need maximum memory headroom should note the 3TB LRDIMM ceiling while the system ships with only 64GB. The 8-bay 2.5-inch chassis limits total drive count, so environments requiring large raw capacity will need external arrays. Workloads demanding GPU acceleration are not supported by the integrated graphics.
40-core Xeon Gold 6138 configuration
The dual 20-core Gold 6138 CPUs at 2.00GHz form the performance baseline for virtualization density and database throughput. Memory type is DDR4 and storage uses SAS. The P408i-a controller manages the four 300GB 15K drives. Network connectivity is provided by a quad-port 1Gb Ethernet adapter.

Questions about this item
What drive maintenance should I plan for with the four 300GB 15K SAS drives in the 8-bay 2.5" chassis?
The four 300GB 15K SAS drives are mechanical; plan for eventual drive replacement as bearings wear. Four empty 2.5" bays remain for hot-swap spares or capacity expansion using the P408i-a controller.
Which limit appears first when the dual Xeon Gold 6138 processors run sustained virtualization workloads?
The installed 64GB DDR4 RAM will saturate before the 20-core CPUs reach their ceiling, especially with multiple VMs. The system supports up to 3TB LRDIMM, so memory can be expanded without changing processors.
How loud and hot does the 2U rackmount get with the P408i-a controller and quad-port 1Gb Ethernet active all day?
Enterprise 2U fans ramp to cool dual 20-core CPUs, four 15K drives, and the P408i-a controller; expect noticeable airflow noise and warm exhaust in a closed rack. Ensure adequate cold-aisle intake.
