HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 P56962-B21 Server, Xeon Gold 5218, 32 GB, MR416i-p, 8SFF BC NC

HPE PartSurfer's description for P56962-B21 reads "HPE PROLIANT DL380 GEN10 5218 2.3GHZ 16-CORE 1P 32GB-R MR416I-P NC 8SFF BC 800W PS SERVER": a pre-configured 2U ProLiant DL380 Gen10 shipped with one Intel Xeon Gold 5218, 32 GB of registered DDR4 and the MR416i-p storage controller in the 8 SFF chassis. Intel lists the 5218 as a 2nd Gen Xeon Scalable (Cascade Lake) processor with 16 cores / 32 threads, 2.30 GHz base and 3.90 GHz turbo, 22 MB cache and a 125 W TDP, with memory support up to DDR4-2667.

HPE's QuickSpecs note that DDR4 speed is set by the processor, and Intel gives DDR4-2667 as the 5218's limit. Storage is handled by the MR416i-p, which HPE lists as an x16-lane, 4 GB-cache NVMe/SAS 12G Gen10 Plus controller; the QuickSpecs state that Smart Array controllers are not supported on the 8SFF BC chassis. NC stands for HPE's Network Choice: this 5218 model has no embedded LOM, and HPE ships it with a pre-selected FlexibleLOM.

The 8SFF BC chassis is upgradeable to 24 SFF front plus 2 SFF rear bays, per HPE's QuickSpecs for its BC models. It ships with an 800 W Flex Slot supply and one socket filled. HPE lists three standard PCIe slots (x8, x16, x8 with dual M.2) and up to eight once a second, identical 5218 is installed. HPE's second-processor kit for this CPU is P02498-B21; the P02498-B21 kit ships with two extra fans. Match check: P56962-B21 should appear on the front pull tab, and iLO's system information should show the 5218 and the MR416i-p controller listed here.

A second Gold 5218 for this BC NC model comes as kit P02498-B21; P56966-B21 is another MR416i build in HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 spare parts.
