Supports Intel Xeon 6 E-Core processors up to 144 cores (Xeon 6766E, 6780E) and P-Core processors up to 86 cores (Xeon 6787P, 350W). DDR5 memory up to 6400 MT/s at 1DPC enables maximum throughput for data-intensive workloads.
32 DIMM slots (16 per processor, 8 channels per processor) support DDR5 RDIMM up to 256 GB per DIMM. Memory speed: 6400 MT/s at 1DPC, 5200 MT/s at 2DPC. Advanced ECC, ADDDC, and mirroring for data integrity.
Three riser options (primary, secondary, tertiary) provide up to 8 PCIe Gen5 slots in x16 connectors, plus 2 rear OCP 3.0 slots and optional front OCP NIC slots (post-launch). Enables dense GPU and HPC configurations.
8SFF server upgradeable to 24SFF front. Also available in 8LFF, 12LFF, and 12/36 EDSFF E3.S configurations. Optional rear drive bays in all chassis types. Supports NS204i-u front/rear boot device.
iLO 7 Security Enclave provides hardware-based tamper-resistant key storage. Supports NIST and CNSA 2.0 quantum-resistance requirements. First industry-standard server to pursue FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification (HPE, Jan 2025).
DL380 Gen12 supports direct liquid cooling (DLC) alongside closed-loop liquid cooling (CLLC) — allowing high-TDP Intel Xeon 6 configurations while minimising acoustic and thermal impact on the data centre environment.
The HPE ProLiant Compute DL380 Gen12 raises the bar for 2U enterprise rack servers. Built on Intel Xeon 6 — the first major Intel server processor architecture to unify Efficient Core and Performance Core variants in a single generation — the DL380 Gen12 delivers up to 144 cores per socket while supporting the same DDR5 6400 MT/s memory interface across all processor variants.
Expansion capability is dramatically improved over the Gen11: three riser card positions (primary, secondary, tertiary) provide up to 8 PCIe Gen5 slots in full-height x16 connectors, with additional OCP 3.0 slots at the rear. Post-launch support adds front OCP NIC slots via the multipurpose cage. This level of I/O density makes the DL380 Gen12 suitable for GPU-accelerated AI workloads without requiring a dedicated GPU chassis.
Storage flexibility is the widest in any 2U platform from HPE. The 8SFF CTO server can be upgraded incrementally to 24SFF using additional drive cages. Alternatively, 8LFF, 12LFF, or 12EDSFF (expandable to 36 EDSFF) configurations are available. NS204i-u boot devices can be installed at the front, rear, or internal positions depending on chassis configuration.
HPE iLO 7 delivers significant security improvements over iLO 6: the new Security Enclave is a hardware-based vault within the iLO ASIC protecting server encryption keys from physical tampering. The DL380 Gen12 is designed to satisfy FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requirements and supports quantum-resistance through CNSA 2.0 secure firmware signing — critical for long-term compliance in regulated industries.
Up to 8 PCIe Gen5 GPU slots, Intel Xeon 6 E-Core for throughput-optimised training pipelines, and 8 TB DDR5 memory make the DL380 Gen12 a strong in-server AI platform.
Industry-standard 2U form factor with 144-core density and 8 TB DDR5 memory delivers exceptional VM consolidation for VMware vSphere, Nutanix, and private cloud deployments.
SAP HANA, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server benefit from DDR5 6400 MT/s bandwidth, high-core-count P-Core processors, and extensive SSD storage configurations.
Designed for HPE GreenLake hybrid cloud — deploy as Kubernetes worker nodes or OpenStack compute nodes with unified management across on-premises and cloud estates.
