10-Bay 40-Core Rack Server
The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 delivers 40 cores across two Xeon Gold 6148 processors running at 2.4 GHz with 256 GB of DDR4 memory. It targets organisations running virtualization, databases, file storage, backups or application hosting in a 2U rack form factor. The chassis provides ten 2.5-inch drive bays and a P408i-a storage controller but ships without drives so capacity and media type can be chosen independently. Buyers who need more than two processor sockets or GPU-accelerated compute should evaluate other platforms.
Thermals and Power
Dual processors and ten drive bays draw considerable power and generate significant heat under sustained loads. The integrated GPU adds minimal thermal load while the system relies on redundant hot-plug fans and power supplies to maintain stable operation in a data-centre aisle. Acoustic output is typical for a rack-mount server and not suited to quiet office environments. No specific wattage or noise figures are supplied.
Included Controller and Trays
The P408i-a controller handles RAID configuration and drive management directly from the system BIOS and iLO interface, reducing setup time for storage arrays. Ten drive trays are included so each bay can be populated immediately once drives are sourced. No operating system, hypervisor licences or additional management software are bundled; those must be provisioned separately.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 2.5 inch drives into the 10 front bays and what step is often missed?
Slide each drive into a bay until the latch clicks, then use the P408i-a controller BIOS to create the logical array before installing any operating system.
Which components will need replacement first during long-term operation?
The hot-plug power supplies and system fans are the primary field-replaceable units; DDR4 memory modules and the two Xeon Gold 6148 processors can also be swapped if a fault develops.
What thermal or power limit appears first when all 40 cores run at 2.4 GHz continuously?
The dual 18-core Xeon Gold 6148 package power draw reaches its rated TDP before the chassis cooling capacity is exceeded, so sustained full-load operation is constrained by processor thermal design power.
