HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 2U Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U rack server built for data analytics and hybrid cloud workloads. It ships with one Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y 16-core processor running at 2.80 GHz and 128 GB of HPE DDR5 Smart Memory at 5600 MT/s. The system includes an HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe boot device and a Broadcom BCM5719 1Gb 4-port Ethernet adapter. Two 1000W Titanium hot-plug power supplies provide redundant power.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y operates at a 195W TDP, setting the thermal envelope for continuous compute tasks. Dual 1000W Titanium power supplies maintain stable delivery under full CPU and memory utilisation. Eight PCIe Gen5 slots and two OCP 3.0 slots support high-throughput accelerators and networking without bandwidth contention. HPE DDR5 Smart Memory at 5600 MT/s feeds all 16 cores with consistent bandwidth during prolonged operations.

Single Deciding Specification

This configuration includes exactly one processor installed in a dual-socket platform, leaving the second socket vacant for future expansion. Buyers who need immediate dual-socket performance must add a second compatible Xeon processor. The 128 GB memory population uses four of sixteen possible DIMM slots, allowing significant capacity growth within the same chassis.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 195W TDP Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y generate under continuous load?

The installed Intel Xeon Gold 6526Y has a 195W thermal design power, so sustained full-load operation will require the 2U chassis cooling to dissipate up to that level of heat.

What rack infrastructure is needed to mount this 2U server and feed its dual 1000W power supplies?

The server occupies 2U of rack height and ships with two hot-plug 1000W Titanium power supplies, so you need a 2U rack space and two compatible PDU outlets or IEC cables.

Will my existing PCIe Gen4 add-in cards work in the Gen5 expansion slots?

Yes, the eight PCIe Gen5 slots are backward compatible, so PCIe Gen4 cards will operate at Gen4 speeds when installed.
