HP ProLiant DL385 Gen10 Plus v2

HPE's 2U two-socket AMD rack server for 3rd Gen AMD EPYC 7003 processors (with some 7002 chips also supported), with 32 DDR4-3200 slots, up to 24 front SFF (or 8/16/24/32 NVMe) or 12/20 LFF drives, eight PCIe 4.0 slots and an OCP 3.0 NIC slot. HPE has since retired it; the DL385 Gen11 is the EPYC 9004/9005 successor.
