Dual-processor rack server for virtualisation hosts
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5218 processors running at 2.3 GHz, each providing 16 cores and 22 MB cache. 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the system board. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and a maximum memory capacity of 3 TB for future expansion.
Smart Array P408 controller
A HPE Smart Array P408 SAS controller manages RAID across SATA drives you add later. Network connectivity uses an Intel I350/X540 card delivering two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports for storage and management traffic. Dual 500 W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy, and HPE iLO Advanced enables remote firmware updates and console access.
No drives installed — you must add storage
The unit arrives without any hard drives or solid-state drives, so capacity and performance depend entirely on the SATA media you select and configure on the P408 controller. Buyers who need a ready-to-run array with pre-populated bays should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Will the 256 GB DDR4 memory need to be upgraded to reach the 3 TB maximum?
The server ships with 256 GB DDR4 installed and supports up to 3 TB, so additional modules can be added later if workloads grow.
Which component limits sustained throughput first, the dual Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs or the Smart Array P408 controller?
The Smart Array P408 SAS controller manages all drive I/O, so storage throughput will saturate before the 2× 16-core 2.3 GHz processors reach full utilisation.
How much heat and power do the two 500 W supplies and dual 5218 CPUs produce when the rack runs continuously?
Dual 500 W Flex Slot supplies and two 2.3 GHz Xeon Gold 5218 CPUs draw significant power under load, requiring adequate rack airflow and cooling capacity for 24×7 operation.
