The HPE ProLiant Compute DL580 Gen12 is a high-density, four-socket 4U server built for data-intensive workloads like databases, analytics, and big data. It's powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors (up to 86 cores) and up to 16 TB of DDR5 memory at speeds up to 6400 MT/s, delivering up to 2x higher general-compute performance than previous generations. New upgrades include support for up to 32 mixed SFF/EDSFF E3.S drives, an optional front-accessible NS204i-u boot device, up to 12 PCIe Gen5 slots plus two OCP 3.0 slots, and an available Direct Liquid Cooling module. It's managed via HPE iLO 7, which adds a hardware-based secure enclave and quantum-resistant firmware signing for enhanced security.

The Intel® Xeon® 6 series of processors offers up to 4 P-Core processors. You need to install the PEM for the 3rd and 4th Processors
The Intel® Xeon® 6 series processor stack is comprised entirely of performance cores (P-Cores), providing high core counts optimized for power and performance.
- Optimized for multi-threaded applications and workloads
- Up to 86 cores at 350 W TDP
- 6400 MT/s DDR5 memory
- Up to four 24 GT/s UPI 2.0
- PCIe 5.0 with up to 88 lanes per CPU
- Security features (SGX)
Heat Sink- Default Heat Sink
- Processor socket 1 must always be populated, or the server will not function
- Heatsink quantity is automatically configured to match the number of processors ordered
- Contains One Heat Sink per Kit
Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC)- Cannot be mixed with any other (air-cooled) heatsinks in the same server
- Requires a Qty 1 55cm Quick Disconnect Tube Set (P62042-B21)
- Facility water supply temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F)
Server Fans- Server ships with 4 dual-rotor hot-plug fans by default (8 rotors total) for main system cooling
- Redundant fan mode: if one rotor fails, the system switches to nonredundant mode and keeps running, with the system health LED flashing amber
- If a second rotor fails, or a fan is missing, the operating system performs a graceful shutdown
PCIe Fan Adapters- PCIe fans are only used when a DPU (Data Processing Unit) is installed
- Slot pairing is fixed by configuration:
- 1 DPU in Slot 5 requires a PCIe fan in Slot 6 (2P and 4P);
- 2 DPUs in Slots 3+5 (2P) require PCIe fans in Slots 4+6 (2P)
- 2 DPUs in Slots 5+7 (4P) require PCIe fans in Slots 6+8 (4P)
- install DPU and PCIe fan options
The MR (MegaRAID) and SR (Smart Array) controller families use different management tools and cannot be installed together in the same server. With a tri-mode U.3 backplane, both series support SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, allowing mixed drive types in one system. This server has no built-in hardware RAID, so a storage controller is required for any RAID functionality — direct-attached SATA drives without one run in AHCI mode only.
SR Series (SmartRAID)
SR Series
Installation Service Manual
The SR series on this server is limited to one option: HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10
Type-p (PCIe plug-in) form factor only
8 external SAS lanes, no cache — used for connecting external SAS storage, not internal drive management
No battery or capacitor required (no cache to protect)
MR Series (MegaRAID) - View PDF
MR Series
Installation Service Manual
Available in type-o (OCP) and type-p (PCIe plug-in) form factors

- 8SFF x1 only, cache needed → MR408i-o/p
- Cache + scales up to 32SFF x4 → MR416i-o/p
- Highest lane count (x32 PCIe Gen5) → MR932i-p; drive count not specified
- External SAS → E208e-p (Gen10, external, no cache)
