HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 8LFF Base Knowledge
Since this Server is so large and has so many configurations, we have broken it up by chassis to make this information a little easier for you to digest.
Chassis
- 8LFF supporting 2SFF front, and up to 4LFF rear or 2SFF rear drive bay options
- The 8 LFF chassis cannot be upgraded to 12 LFF front in the field.
- The 2 LFF primary and 2LFF secondary rear cages are supported in LFF chassis only.
- The 2 LFF primary and 2LFF secondary rear cages will consume all PCIe slots for the primary and secondary riser, respectively.
Processor
- Processors do not ship with heatsinks or fan kits, these must be ordered separately.
- Processors with TDP equal to or greater than 150W through 350W require High Performance Heatsink (P48818-B21)
- Processors with TDP greater than 150W through 350W and mid-tray drive cage require HPE DL3xx/560 Gen11 High Performance Heatsink (P48905-B21)

Heatsink & Fans
This system has 4 Heatsinks for select reasons. You have the Standard (P49145-B21), High-Performance 2U (P48818-B21), High-Performance LP (P48905-B21), and Max Performance (P48817-B21). Based on the CPU TDP, the Heatsink will change as well if you install a Mid-Drive Cage. Then you'll be forced to install the Low Profile Heatsink (P48905-B21).
In general, the Maximum Performance fan kit is required when rear drives, or >205W Processors SKUs, or High-Performance NVMe drives, three drive cages, mid-tray, GPU card, or certain backplanes are populated.
High-Performance fan kit consists of 6 fans, these will need to replace all the standard fans in the unit and fill all 6 fan cages.
The 8LFF CTO server models ship with 4 standard fans.
Liquid Cooling
There are two Liquid Cooling options for this server. If any are installed, you must also install the correct Tubes for the cooling system to work properly. Please keep in mind the PCIe slot amount. One of these LCs takes up a PCIe slot and is usually installed when a GPU is selected. Some GPUs are DW and take up two slots. Even with 8 PCIe slots you can run out of room fast.
Memory
DIMM Blanks are optional and not required.
Mixing of 3DS memory and non-3DS memory is not supported
Mixing of x4 and x8 memory is not allowed
Mixing of DIMM types (UDIMM, RDIMM, and LRDIMM) is not supported.
If 96GB or higher density memory is selected then High Performance Fan Kit must be selected.
96GB memory cannot be mixed with any other memory.
Expansion Slots
This system has up to 8 PCIe slots and 2 OCP ports. The OCP ports have enablement kits to provide x8 or x16 functionality to the slots. Please take a look at which controller you are trying to install and the slot diagram below to know which slot each controller should be installed in.

Storage Controllers
Additional front and rear drive bays are optional. The system has many Tri-Mode controllers to choose from since each model supports mixed drives. If your system does not have a storage controller installed and the drives are directly attached then you have the possibility to enable VROC. There are two versions of VROC and one only supports NVMe SSD while all models feature an embedded storage controller, with embedded software SATA RAID support for up to 14 bays. To view more about VROC please view the manual.
When installing a controller please take note of what PCIe slot and the lane amount. If you plug a x16 card into an x8 slot you might have some performance issues. If you install a controller with cache, you must also install either (P02377-B21) HPE Smart Storage Hybrid Capacitor with 145mm Cable Kit or (P01366-B21) HPE 96W Smart Storage Lithium-ion Battery with 145mm Cable Kit.
Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6)
Software that enables you to securely configure, monitor, and update your HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers seamlessly, from anywhere.
Embedded in Hewlett Packard Enterprise servers, HPE Integrated Lights-Out 6 (iLO 6) is an exclusive core intelligence that monitors server status, providing the means for reporting, ongoing management, service alerting, and local or remote management to identify and resolve issues quickly.
