HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server 4.8 TB Rack 2U Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y 64 GB DDR5

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server 4.8 TB Rack 2U Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y 64 GB DDR5 is a 2U rack-mountable server designed for enterprise workloads that require a balance of processing capacity, memory bandwidth and storage density. It is equipped with an Intel Xeon Silver 4514Y processor running at 2 GHz, 64 GB of DDR5 memory across available DIMM slots and a total of 4.8 TB of SAS HDD storage. The chassis supports redundant power delivery and a 2U rack form factor suited for standard server cabinets.

Advantages

This server combines a mid‑range Intel Xeon Silver processor with DDR5 memory to provide improved memory performance compared with previous generations. The 2U rack chassis offers a compact footprint while allowing multiple drive bays and serviceability. Redundant power support increases availability for critical services, and built‑in RAID support enables configurable storage protection and performance tuning. Memory expandability across multiple DIMM slots permits future upgrades to match growing workload demands.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and small to medium hypervisor clusters
• Database workloads with moderate I/O and capacity needs
• File and storage servers with SAS HDDs for bulk capacity
• Application servers in enterprise or colocation environments

Key specifications

• Processor family: Intel Xeon Silver (2.0 GHz)
• Internal memory: 64 GB DDR5
• Maximum supported memory: up to 8000 GB
• Memory slots: 32x DIMM
• Number of installed HDDs: 2 (SAS)
• Total storage capacity: 4.8 TB (SAS HDD)
• RAID support: Yes (configurable RAID levels)
• Power supply capability: 2000 W with redundant support
• Chassis type: Rack (2U)

How to use

Install the server into a compatible 2U rack cabinet following rack‑mount procedures and secure appropriate power and network connections. Configure RAID according to your redundancy and performance requirements before deploying operating systems and applications. Populate or upgrade memory using the 32 available DIMM slots to achieve desired capacity, and manage storage through the integrated RAID controller and server management utilities. Use redundant power supply options to reduce single‑point failures and monitor system health with HPE management tools.

Recommendations

For steady performance, use enterprise‑class SAS drives and configure RAID suited to your workload (for example RAID 1 or RAID 10 for redundancy or RAID 5/6 for larger capacity efficiency). Plan memory upgrades to leverage DDR5 bandwidth and distribute DIMMs according to the server's channel population guidelines. Maintain firmware and management software updates to ensure stability and security in multi‑tenant or production environments.
