PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 2U Rack Server (Configure-to-Order) - Local Warranty
GPU-Optimised 2U for Enterprise AI
The HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 is an accelerator-optimised 2U, 2-socket server that takes up to 4 double-wide or 8 single-wide GPUs, such as NVIDIA H100 NVL, L40S or L4, for AI training, fine-tuning, inference and visual computing.
Dual Intel Xeon with DDR5 and PCIe Gen5
Two 4th or 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (up to 64 cores each, up to 350 W) pair with 24 DDR5 RDIMM slots for up to 3 TB of memory at up to 5600 MT/s, with up to four PCIe 5.0 x16 slots and two OCP 3.0 slots for high-speed networking.
Secure, Cloud-Managed Infrastructure
HPE iLO 6 with silicon root of trust protects the platform from the firmware up, and HPE Compute Ops Management adds cloud-based monitoring and lifecycle updates. HPE's standard warranty is 3 years parts, 3 years labour and 3 years onsite next-business-day.

How to Configure Your Server — Sizing Checklist
Servers are built to order. Answer the questions below so we can size the right configuration for you.
Step 1: Hardware Requirements
- Which server form factor do you need: tower or rackmount?
- How many CPU cores, how much RAM and how much usable storage capacity do you require?
- How many processors: single-socket (1S), dual-socket (2S) or four-socket (4S)?
- Which RAID configuration do you need? Any specific HDD or SSD type, such as 7.2K or 10K rpm drives?
- Which network interface is required: 1GbE Base-T, SFP+ or Fibre Channel?
- How many years of maintenance support do you need? (Minimum 3 years)
Step 2: Deployment & Services
- How many server units are required?
- Will you run virtual machine workloads? Do you need a VMware licence, or Windows Server with Hyper-V?
- How do you store data today? Do you have existing NAS or SAN storage?
- How do you back up today? Would you like a backup proposal, such as an IDPA 8TB appliance?
- Do you require burn-in test services?
- Do you need hard disk retention services?
