2U Rack Server for Dual Xeon Scaling
The HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 processor running at 2.4 GHz with four cores and four threads. It ships with 4 GB of DDR3 RDIMM memory in one of 24 available slots and supports up to 768 GB total capacity. A second processor can be added for heavier workloads. The system includes an HP Smart Array P420i controller for SATA or SAS drives and a quad-port 1 Gb Ethernet adapter, but no hard drives are installed. A 460 W platinum-rated hot-plug power supply is included.
Entry-Level Virtualization and File Serving
This configuration suits small businesses or remote offices that need a reliable 2-socket platform for light virtualization, file sharing or print services. The single quad-core CPU and 4 GB base memory limit performance for database workloads, high-density VMs or compute-intensive applications. Buyers who need more processing threads or larger memory footprints from day one should look at a higher-specification model. The empty drive bays let you choose capacity and RAID level to match the workload.
DDR3 RDIMM Memory Architecture
The server uses DDR3 registered DIMMs operating at PC3-10600 speed across 24 slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 768 GB. This memory generation and form factor determines which upgrade modules are compatible; any other DDR type will not fit or function. Plan memory purchases accordingly to match the installed technology.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the server is operating correctly after initial setup?
Check the Integrated Lights-Out interface for POST completion, confirm all 24 DIMM slots show the 4GB DDR3 module, and verify the Smart Array P420i detects any installed drives.
What components are included and what must be purchased separately?
The 2U chassis includes one Xeon E5-2609 2.4GHz processor, 4GB DDR3 RDIMM, Smart Array P420i controller, 4-port 331FLR Ethernet adapter, and one 460W 94% efficient power supply; hard drives and additional memory are not included.
Which memory configuration should I choose for this server?
Use PC3-10600R DDR3 RDIMM modules to populate up to 24 slots for a maximum of 768GB; the system ships with one 4GB stick in a single slot.
