Server HP Enterprise ProLiant DL380 Gen11 Rack 2U Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y 2 GHz 32 GB DDR5 1000 W

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 is a 2U, dual-socket rack server designed for data‑intensive and large‑capacity workloads. This configuration includes an Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y 2.0 GHz processor, 32 GB DDR5 memory (1×32 GB), support for up to eight 2.5" drives, RAID capabilities, 32 DIMM slots supporting up to 8 TB total memory, and a redundant 1000 W power supply option. The server is suitable for virtualization, databases, software‑defined storage, video transcoding, and other enterprise applications that require high I/O and memory bandwidth.

Advantages

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 delivers scalable performance with 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor support (up to 60 cores per processor), expanded DDR5 memory capacity and bandwidth, and PCIe Gen5 I/O for improved throughput and lower latency. It integrates HPE Silicon Root of Trust security features and hardware‑assisted protections, plus options for HPE GreenLake as‑a‑service consumption and centralized management to simplify lifecycle operations and monitoring.

Suitable for

• Virtualization and VDI environments
• Database and analytics workloads
• Software‑defined storage and large capacity storage deployments
• Video transcoding and media processing
• High‑performance compute tasks, AI/ML inference, and containerized applications

Key specifications

• Chassis: Rack 2U, dual‑socket (2P)
• Processor: Intel Xeon Gold 5418Y, 2.0 GHz (part of 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable family)
• Internal memory (installed): 32 GB DDR5 (1×32 GB); maximum supported memory: 8192 GB (8 TB) via 32 DIMM slots
• Storage: 0 GB internal in this configuration; supports up to 8 × 2.5" drives; RAID supported
• PCIe: PCIe Gen5 expansion (including x16 and OCP slot options) for enhanced I/O
• Power supply: 1000 W (redundant PSU support)
• Form factor: 2U rackmount

How to use

Install the server in a standard 19" rack using the supplied rails. Populate memory and storage according to workload requirements, up to 32 DIMMs and up to eight 2.5" drives. Configure RAID through the server management utility or RAID controller during initial setup. Connect network and power, then provision the operating system and hypervisor or container platform of your choice. Use HPE iLO and system management tools for firmware updates, monitoring, and BIOS tuning recommendations.

Recommendations

For data‑intensive and virtualized workloads, populate memory channels evenly across DIMM slots and use higher‑performance NVMe or enterprise SSDs in supported 2.5" bays to maximize I/O. Enable HPE Silicon Root of Trust and keep firmware updated to maintain security. Consider HPE GreenLake for managed, consumption‑based deployment and continuous monitoring if you require 24×7 support and simplified lifecycle management.
