General-purpose 2U rack server
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 model P56962-B21 is a 2U rack server built for general-purpose workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processor running at 2.30 GHz with 16 cores and 22 MB cache. The system includes 32 GB of HPE DDR4 Smart Memory in a single-socket LGA 3647 configuration.
Sustained-load behaviour with hot-plug power
A single HPE 800 W Flex Slot universal hot-plug low-halogen supply delivers power with redundancy-ready headroom for continuous operation. The Broadcom MegaRAID MR416i-p controller with 4 GB cache and smart storage battery protects write data during extended transactions. Ten-gigabit Ethernet on the BCM57414 FLR-T adapter maintains throughput for storage and cluster traffic under load.
Upgrade path from single-socket or tower deployments
This server replaces older single-socket rack or tower systems that lack 10 Gb networking, hardware RAID with battery-backed cache, or hot-plug redundant power. The jump is worthwhile when workloads demand 16 cores, DDR4 memory integrity, and remote management via iLO with Intelligent Provisioning. It does not suit buyers who need dual-socket density, embedded networking beyond the optional stand-up card, or GPU-accelerated compute.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the 800W Flex Slot power supply run under continuous load?
The server includes one 800W Flex Slot Universal Hot Plug Low Halogen power supply; HPE Flex Slot designs share airflow with the system fans, so noise and heat scale with total chassis load rather than the PSU alone.
What drives and cables must I already have to use the Broadcom MegaRAID MR416i-p 4GB controller?
The MR416i-p with 4GB cache and Smart Storage Battery connects to internal drive bays; you need compatible drives and the correct backplane cables for your chosen drive form factor.
Will the 10Gb 2-port FLR-T adapter work with my existing 1Gb network switches?
The HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port FLR-T BCM57414 Adapter auto-negotiates link speed, so it will operate at 1Gb when connected to 1Gb switches via suitable copper or fibre transceivers.
