HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 826565-B21 Server, Xeon Silver 4114, 32 GB, P408i-a, 8SFF

HPE PartSurfer's description for 826565-B21 reads "HPE PROLIANT DL380 GEN10 4114 1P 32GB-R P408I-A 8SFF 500W PS BASE SERVER": a pre-configured 2U ProLiant DL380 Gen10 shipped with one Intel Xeon Silver 4114, 32 GB of registered DDR4 and the P408i-a storage controller in the 8 SFF chassis. Intel lists the 4114 as a 1st Gen Xeon Scalable (Skylake) processor with 10 cores / 20 threads, 2.20 GHz base and 3.00 GHz turbo, 13.75 MB cache and an 85 W TDP, with memory support up to DDR4-2400.

For a 1st Gen part such as the 4114, HPE's DL380 Gen10 QuickSpecs state that DDR4-2666 memory kits are supported only with 1st Generation Xeon Scalable processors and that field upgrades from 1st Gen (x1xx) to 2nd Gen (x2xx) processors are not supported. HPE fits the P408i-a SR Gen10 modular controller (x8 lanes, 2 GB cache, 12G SAS); as a performance RAID controller it relies on an HPE Smart Storage Battery (P01366-B21) or Smart Hybrid Capacitor (P02377-B21) for cache backup. Networking on 826565-B21 comes from the embedded-LOM chassis, which HPE lists with the HPE 1Gb Ethernet 4-port 331i adapter, since this model has no NC (Network Choice) tag.

Drive bays start at 8 SFF with none installed, and HPE lists the 8SFF chassis as expandable to 24 SFF front plus 6 SFF rear. It ships with a 500 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 4114 is installed. A second processor must also be a 4114, and HPE's -B21 second-processor kits ship with two additional fans. Fit check: the front serial label pull tab carries the model number, so confirm it reads 826565-B21 and that the fitted parts match the configuration above.

Cache backup on this 4114 build relies on the P01366-B21 battery or the P02377-B21 capacitor, sold separately; HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 spare parts has both.
