HP ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus

HPE's 2U two-socket AMD rack server for 2nd Gen AMD EPYC 7002 processors, with 32 DDR4-3200 slots, up to 24 front SFF (or NVMe) or 12 LFF drives plus mid-tray and rear cages, eight PCIe 4.0 slots and an OCP 3.0 NIC slot. HPE has retired it; the later DL385 Gen10 Plus v2 is the EPYC 7003 model.

Memory

Slots
32 DIMM (16 per processor, 8 channels per processor, 2 DIMMs per channel); all 32 need two processors
Type
HPE DDR4 Smart Memory RDIMM, LRDIMM or 3DS LRDIMM, DDR4-3200
Speed
3200 MT/s at 1 DIMM per channel, 2933 MT/s at 2 DIMMs per channel (also limited by the processor)
Max
8 TB: 32 x 256 GB 3DS LRDIMM
DIMM kits
8, 16, 32, 64 GB RDIMM; 128 GB LRDIMM; 256 GB 3DS LRDIMM
Mixing
No RDIMM/LRDIMM/3DS LRDIMM mixing; no x4/x8 mixing
Protection
Advanced ECC
DIMM blanks
DIMM blank kit (P07818-B21) needed with the 4 LFF mid-tray cage and processors of 126 W and above

Storage

Chassis options
8 SFF (CTO P14278-B21), 24 SFF (P14279-B21), 12 LFF (P14280-B21), 8 LFF (P14281-B21)
8 SFF chassis
Box 3 has 8 SFF; Boxes 1 and 2 take optional 8 SFF SAS/SATA or 8 NVMe cages (up to 24 SFF front); Box 1 can instead hold the Universal Media Bay (2 SFF or 2 NVMe + optical drive)
NVMe
Up to 24 SFF NVMe front with three 8 NVMe/SAS cages (P14578-B21), 32 with one 8 NVMe mid-tray cage (P14601-B21); 24 NVMe needs two processors, re-timer cards and the secondary riser
24 SFF chassis
24 SFF front; HPE also lists 8 SFF mid-tray and 6 SFF rear for up to 38 SFF, though its CTO table marks the SFF mid-plane cage not available
LFF
12 LFF + 4 LFF mid-tray + 4 LFF rear = 20 LFF (plus 2 SFF rear); the 8 LFF chassis takes a front 2 SFF cage and optical drive and cannot be converted to 12 LFF in the field
Rear cages
2 SFF NVMe/SAS in the primary or secondary riser position; 2 LFF in the primary, secondary or tertiary riser position; the 4 LFF rear box takes the primary and secondary riser space
Max capacity (HPE)
SFF SAS SSD 428.4 TB (28 x 15.3 TB); SFF NVMe 368.64 TB (24 x 15.36 TB); LFF 310.6 TB (20 x 14 TB + 2 x 15.3 TB)
Embedded
SATA controller in AHCI mode or HPE SR100i Gen10 Plus software RAID (UEFI only, Windows Server only, off by default); on the DL385 Gen10 Plus HPE says SR100i supports NVMe only
Smart Array modular
E208i-a, P408i-a, P816i-a (no PCIe slot used)
Smart Array PCIe
E208i-p, P408i-p, E208e-p, P408e-p (external)
Battery

Boot
HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device (P12965-B21; slot 1 or slot 8); Universal SATA HHHL M.2 kit (878783-B21, 2 x M.2 SATA, uses a PCIe slot); 32 GB microSD RAID 1 USB boot drive (P21868-B21)
Optical
9.5 mm SATA DVD-ROM / DVD-RW on 8 SFF (needs the Universal Media Bay) and 8 LFF models
