HPE ProLiant DL380 G7 Parts
The HPE ProLiant DL380 G7 is the two-socket 2U rack server built on the Intel 5520 chipset, taking Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors across 18 DDR3 DIMM slots and a front end that starts at eight small form factor bays. Every part below is genuine HPE, available new and refurbished, and tested for compatibility before it ships. Live pricing for each part number appears in the tables further down this page.
DL380 G7 Platform at a Glance
- Processors: up to two Intel Xeon 5500 or 5600 series, twelve cores in total, with up to 12MB of L3 cache on 5600 series parts and up to 8MB on 5500 series
- Memory: 18 DDR3 slots — nine per processor, three per channel — taking Registered or Unbuffered DIMMs to a maximum of 384GB registered or 48GB unbuffered
- Drive bays: eight hot-plug SFF bays as standard, sixteen with the optional second SFF cage, or six LFF bays with the large form factor cage
- Maximum internal storage: 19.2TB on sixteen 1.2TB SFF SAS drives, or 24.0TB on six 4TB LFF SATA drives
- Storage controller: embedded HPE Smart Array P410i, supplied as Zero Memory, 256MB or 1GB FBWC depending on the factory model
- Networking: two embedded HPE NC382i dual-port Multifunction Gigabit adapters — four RJ-45 ports — with TCP/IP Offload Engine and Accelerated iSCSI support
- Expansion: up to six PCI Express Gen2 slots through the primary and optional secondary risers
- Power and cooling: Common Slot hot-plug power supplies rated up to 94% efficiency, with fully redundant hot-plug fans shipped N+1
- Management: embedded HPE iLO 3 with a dedicated management NIC, plus an internal SD slot
Two things decide most DL380 G7 orders: the drive cage and the memory type. The chassis ships with eight SFF bays, reaches sixteen with a second SFF cage, or carries six LFF bays instead — and an SFF drive will not seat in an LFF carrier. On memory, Registered and Unbuffered cannot run together, so whichever is fitted today is what an upgrade has to match.

DL380 G7 Parts FAQ
What processors does the DL380 G7 support?
Up to two Intel Xeon 5500 or 5600 series processors, for twelve cores in total. HPE does not support mixing different processor models in the same server, so a second CPU has to match the one already fitted.
How much memory can a DL380 G7 take?
384GB using Registered DIMMs, or 48GB using Unbuffered DIMMs. The server has 18 DDR3 slots, but the maximum registered configuration fills twelve of them with 32GB quad-rank modules at 800MHz.
How many hard drives fit in a DL380 G7?
Eight hot-plug 2.5-inch SFF drives as standard, sixteen with the optional second SFF drive cage, or six 3.5-inch LFF drives with the large form factor cage. The cage fitted to your chassis decides which drives will seat.
Which RAID controller is built into the DL380 G7?
An embedded HPE Smart Array P410i. Entry models ship it with zero memory and RAID 0, 1 and 1+0; base models add a 256MB cache and RAID 5 and 5+0; performance models ship a 1GB flash backed write cache.
Does the DL380 G7 have onboard network ports?
Yes. Two embedded HPE NC382i dual-port Multifunction Gigabit adapters give four RJ-45 ports, with TCP/IP Offload Engine and support for Accelerated iSCSI, plus a separate iLO 3 management port.
Is the DL380 G7 still worth buying parts for?
It remains a widely deployed 2U platform, and the parts are plentiful. Because HPE has retired the product documentation for this generation, matching part numbers to the exact chassis and processor family you own carries more weight here than on a server still in production.
