HPE ProLiant DL380 8LFF NC Rack Server (G11) CTO

The HPE DL380 GEn 11 supports up to 2 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors. Processors do not ship with heatsinks or fan kits, these must be ordered separately. Processors with TDP equal to or greater than 150W through 350W require High-Performancea Heatsink (P48818-B21). Processors with TDP greater than 150W through 350W and mid-tray drive cage require HPE DL3xx/560 Gen11 High Performance Heatsink (P48905-B21. “Q” processors require Max Performance Heatsink (P48817-B21). Processors with TDP equal to or less than 150W require Standard Heatsink (P49145-B21). Liquid-cooled CPUs require Maximum Performance Heat Sink (P48817-B21). One heatsink covers both CPUs.

The HPE DL380 Gen11 supports up to two 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, though processors ship without heatsinks or fan kits, which must be ordered separately. Processors with a TDP of 150W to 350W require the High Performance Heatsink (P48818-B21), or High-Performance LP HSK (P48905-B21) if paired with a mid-tray drive cage. "Q" processors and liquid-cooled CPUs require the Maximum Performance Heatsink (P48817-B21), while processors with a TDP of 150W or below use the Standard Heatsink (P49145-B21). Each heatsink covers both CPUs.

There are two Liquid Cooling options for this server. If any are installed, you must also install the correct Tubes for the cooling system to work properly. Please keep in mind the PCIe slot amount. One of these LCs takes up a PCIe slot and is usually installed when a GPU is selected. Some GPUs are DW and take up two slots. Even with 8 PCIe slots you can run out of room fast.

In the HPE DL380 Gen11 Rack Server, NC stands for "Network Choice". This designation means the server does not come with a built-in network adapter (NIC), giving customers the flexibility to select and install their preferred network options, such as OCP 3.0 or stand-up NICs, based on their specific networking needs.

This system has 2 OCP ports. The OCP ports have enablement kits to provide x8 or x16 functionality to the slots. Please take a look at which controller you are trying to install and the slot diagram below to know which slot each controller should be installed in.

System memory should be 2x of GPU memory. Most GPUs need an LC system installed so please take note of the PCIe slots used and which PCIe slot you install the GPU in. Some GPUs require certain parts or have limitations. To view all the rules for each GPU please view the item.

• Maximum Performance fan kit (P48820-B21)
• GPU Power Cable Kit (P56072-B21)

When configuring the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server with GPUs, it's crucial to consider cooling requirements to maintain optimal performance and system reliability. The server supports up to eight single-wide or three double-wide GPUs, depending on if the DLC is installed in the configuration.

The HPE DL380 Gen11 Rack Server supports Tri-Mode controllers for mixed drive configurations. For direct-attached drives without a controller, VROC can be enabled. There are two VROC versions, one of which supports only NVMe SSDs.

If a controller with cache is installed, you must also add either the HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor (P02377-B21) or the HPE 96W Smart Storage Lithium-ion Battery (P01366-B21), both with a 145mm cable kit.

Select a minimum (1), or maximum (2) power supplies. The mixing of 2 different power supplies is NOT allowed.

HPE Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) Power Supplies share a common electrical and physical design that allows for hot plug, tool-less installation into HPE ProLiant Gen11 Performance Servers. Flex Slot power supplies are certified for high-efficiency operation and offer multiple power output options, allowing users to "right-size" a power supply for specific server configurations. This flexibility helps to reduce power waste, lower overall energy costs, and avoid "trapped" power capacity in the data center.
