The 669257-B21 is the HPE ProLiant DL380e Gen8 12 LFF configure-to-order server, a 2U rack server for Intel Xeon E5-2400 and E5-2400 v2 processors. Its storage backplane is expander-based, and a single Smart Array P420 controller can run all 12 large form factor drives plus the optional rear drives.
The base configuration has two Smart Socket Guides for processor installation, 12 DIMM slots for RDIMM, LRDIMM and UDIMM memory, an HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 366i adapter and a Dynamic Smart Array B120i controller with zero memory. Four PCIe slots are standard: slot 1 is full-length x4 PCIe 3.0, slots 2 and 3 are half-length x8 PCIe 3.0, and slot 4 is low profile x4 PCIe 2.0. USB comes as four rear, one front and one internal port plus an SD slot, and four fans cool the chassis, with one more fan arriving alongside a second processor.
Memory tops out at 384GB with 12 x 32GB LRDIMM at 1333MHz, 192GB with 12 x 16GB RDIMM, or 96GB with 12 x 8GB UDIMM, and the server upgrades to two processors. With one processor installed, only half the DIMM slots are available.
The B120i handles up to 6 SATA drives, and more than 4 drives need cable 675856-B21. SAS support or more than 6 drives calls for a Smart Array controller or the Dynamic Smart Array B320i, 661402-B21, fitted through a riser. Power supplies are not included: the 460W, 750W and 1200W Common Slot Platinum Plus kits are 656362-B21, 656363-B21 and 656364-B21. Rail kits are no longer standard on-board, and the 2U FIO Friction Rail Kit is 663476-B21.
Other 2U Gen8 servers in the store include the 665552-B21 DL380p Gen8 12 LFF server and the 653200-B21 DL380p Gen8 8 SFF server. More 2U Gen8 rack systems are in HPE server systems.
