FAQs

Does the DL380 Gen12 support liquid cooling?

Yes, the platform supports both standard air cooling and advanced direct liquid cooling options to manage thermal output.

What is the maximum RAM capacity?

The system supports up to 8 TB of DDR5 memory at speeds of 6400 MT/s.

What management software does it use?

It utilizes the HPE Integrated Lights-Out 7 (iLO 7) management software.

Is the server compatible with NVMe storage?

Yes, it supports up to 36 EDSFF E3.S NVMe drives for high-performance storage requirements.

How does Gen12 performance compare to previous models?

It delivers approximately twice the average performance of previous generations due to updated Intel Xeon 6 processors and faster memory.

Are there multiple chassis configurations available?

Yes, the DL380 Gen12 series offers various configurations, including models featuring different drive bay layouts such as 12LFF.

Troubleshooting

System failing to POST

Check the iLO 7 dashboard for hardware alerts, verify proper seating of RAM and processors, and ensure power supplies are fully engaged.

High ambient temperature alerts

Verify the status of the cooling fans, ensure rack airflow is not obstructed, and check the liquid cooling loop integrity if applicable.

Storage drive not recognized

Verify the drive seating in the chassis and check the MR416i-o controller configuration in the BIOS to ensure proper RAID or HBA mode settings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Twice the average performance compared to previous generations
  • Extensive memory capacity up to 8 TB
  • Robust hardware-based security features
  • Support for modern GPU configurations for AI productivity
  • Highly flexible storage options with NVMe support

Cons

  • High performance requires specialized data center cooling infrastructure
  • Complex configuration options may have a steep learning curve
  • Large physical 2U footprint
  • Advanced cooling like liquid cooling adds installation complexity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial setup of the DL380 Gen12 requires installation within a standard 19-inch server rack. Ensure the rack depth is sufficient to accommodate the 2U chassis.

  1. Power Configuration: Connect to high-efficiency power supplies (e.g., 1000W PS as included in base models) according to your site's power redundancy needs.
  2. Management Access: Use the iLO 7 dedicated management port to configure BIOS settings and monitor system health remotely.
  3. Firmware Updates: Always maintain up-to-date firmware to ensure compatibility with modern OS environments and security patches.
  4. Physical Care: Regularly inspect fans and liquid cooling loops for potential blockages or dust buildup. Ensure that internal cabling is routed to maintain proper airflow across the DIMM slots and processors.
