The HP DL380z Gen8 Virtual Workstation is a focused 2U 2-socket rack ecosystem solution based on the proven technologies offered on the HP Proliant DL380p Gen8 server. As such, this QuickSpec will reference supporting documents that detail the HP Proliant server product offerings and descriptions. This is intentional since the HP DL380z. HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 - Xeon E5-2680 2.7 GHz - 8 GB - 0 GB overview and full product specs on CNET. HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 Server unique options Technical specifications Part description SKU HP 380/385 Gen8 8-SFF Cage/Backplane Kit (Additional 8 SFF Hard Drive Cage, allowing for up to 16 SFF Drive Bays) 662883-B21 HP DL380/385GN 3 slot PCIe Riser Kit (Additional PCIe Gen3 Riser Card quantity 1x16, 1x8, 1x4 for up to 6 total PCIe slots. Below figure shows the memory slot configuration for 24-slot 2P ProLiant DL380p Gen8 server. In this drawing, the first memory slots for each channel on each processor are the white memory slots (A, B, C, and D). When a single processor is installed in the system, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetical order – A, B, C, D and so on.
Fantastic server.

Fantastic server.I personally love this server. It has way quieter than my previous servers and most energy efficient. I had the great opportunity to have this both in my work environment and one that was being tossed in my home lab environment.
What are the pros?- DDR3 Memory and Xeon E5-2600 series give a major energy efficiency savings over previous generations.
- Ton of RAM slots to make this a compute beast.
- Love me some iLO for management of the machine.
- Plenty of room for upgrading RAM and CPU from the baseline.
- Baseline came with low CPU count processors
- Baseline has a only 8 SFF drive slots.
- Newer shorter SFF drive trays meant my extra SFF trays from previous generations were no longer compatible.
