General-purpose 2U rack server
The HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 delivers an AMD EPYC 9005 series processor with 8 cores at 3.6 GHz and 64 MB L3 cache in a 2U rack chassis. It ships with 64 GB of HPE DDR5 Smart Memory configured as two 32 GB modules running at 6400 MT/s. A single processor is installed, targeting general-purpose workloads that need balanced compute and memory capacity.
Thermal design and redundant power
Six hot-swap standard fans provide active cooling for the 125 W TDP processor and supporting components. Two 800 W Flex Slot Platinum hot-plug power supplies operate in redundant mode, delivering efficient power conversion with low halogen materials. The dual supply design maintains uptime if one unit fails or requires replacement.
Storage controller and networking foundation
The MR408i-o Gen11 storage controller uses x8 lanes with 4 GB cache and supports OCP SPDM for drive management. Two 480 GB SATA 6G read-intensive SFF SSDs are pre-installed in the front bays. A Broadcom BCM5719 OCP3 adapter adds four 1 GbE BASE-T ports for network connectivity. Builders needing additional drive bays, higher-speed networking or a second processor should verify chassis and board capacity before ordering.

Questions about this item
How do I install the HPE MR408i-o Gen11 storage controller into the OCP slot, and which step do people miss?
Seat the controller firmly in the OCP 3.0 connector until the latch clicks, then attach the x8 lane cable; the step most often missed is enabling the 4 GB cache module in the BIOS before creating arrays.
What maintenance will the two 480 GB SATA read-intensive SSDs need over time?
Monitor the SMART wear indicator in iLO; when the percentage approaches the rated write endurance, replace the drive — the hot-swap bays let you swap a 480 GB unit without powering down the 2U chassis.
What thermal limit appears first when the AMD EPYC 9015 8-core 125 W TDP CPU runs sustained loads?
The six standard hot-swap fans ramp to maximum speed once the CPU package hits its thermal threshold; if inlet air exceeds the rated maximum, the firmware will throttle the 3.6 GHz clocks to protect the processor.
