HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 2U rack server
This 2U rack-mountable system ships with one Intel Xeon E5-2620 processor running at 2 GHz with six cores and twelve threads. It includes 16 GB of DDR3 memory arranged as four 4 GB modules across twenty-four total DIMM slots. The chassis supports a second processor for expanded compute capacity. Designed for data-centre workloads that need dense processing in a standard rack footprint.
HP Smart Array P420i controller with 1 GB FBWC
The integrated storage controller provides RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 and 5+0 across SATA and SAS interfaces. Its 1 GB flash-backed write cache accelerates write-heavy applications and protects data during power loss. Four-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter delivers baseline network connectivity. No hard drives are installed so storage capacity and performance are defined entirely by the drives you add.
Verify rack depth and power infrastructure
The server requires a compatible rack with sufficient depth for a 2U chassis and front-access hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays. Dual 460 W platinum-plus hot-plug power supplies operate at 94 percent efficiency and need matching PDU outlets. DDR3 memory expansion must use registered ECC modules; other DDR generations are physically incompatible. Maximum memory reaches 768 GB when both processor sockets are populated.

Questions about this item
When will the 460W CS Platinum Plus hot-plug power supply need replacement?
The 460W CS Platinum Plus hot-plug power supply is rated at 94% efficiency; replacement timing depends on workload and environmental conditions.
What limits sustained performance of the Xeon E5-2620 2GHz 6C/12T processor?
The Xeon E5-2620 has a 95W thermal design power; sustained loads are constrained by this power envelope and the system cooling capacity.
How loud and hot does the 2U rack server get when running continuously?
The 2U chassis uses redundant fans to cool the 95W processor and 460W power supply; actual noise and temperature vary with inlet temperature and workload.
