Rack server HP Enterprise DL380 Gen10 SFF – 1U/2U compatible chassis, SFF drive bays

HP Enterprise DL380 Gen10 SFF – 1U/2U compatible chassis, SFF drive bays (MPN: 875096-001-RFB) is a rack-mounted enterprise server platform designed for data center environments that require compact drive density and enterprise-class features. The SFF (Small Form Factor) variant provides multiple small drive bays in a 1U/2U-compatible chassis, enabling higher drive counts in a limited rack space. This model aligns with common HPE ProLiant design principles for reliability, serviceability, and expandability for virtualization, database, and general-purpose business workloads.

Advantages

The HP Enterprise DL380 Gen10 SFF chassis combines a space-efficient footprint with support for multiple SFF drives, allowing denser storage configurations without increasing rack height. Designed for enterprise use, it supports standard rack mounting and provides serviceable front-access drive bays and internal expansion options. The chassis is compatible with established HPE server ecosystems, enabling straightforward integration with existing HPE components and management tools.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• Database servers requiring moderate to high I/O density
• File and object storage with compact drive deployment
• General-purpose business applications and web services
• Environments needing 1U/2U chassis flexibility and higher drive density

How to use

Install the HP Enterprise DL380 Gen10 SFF chassis into a standard 19-inch rack using compatible mounting rails. Populate the front-access SFF drive bays with supported SFF HDDs or SSDs and install compatible server components (CPU, memory, RAID controller, power supplies) according to HPE documentation and the specific configuration requirements. Connect network and power cables, verify BIOS/firmware versions, and configure storage arrays or RAID as required for your workload. Use HPE management utilities for system setup, firmware updates, and monitoring.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, follow HPE’s published installation and service guides, use certified spare parts and firmware, and maintain up-to-date system firmware and drivers. Plan drive configurations and RAID levels based on performance and redundancy needs; consider enterprise-grade SFF SSDs for higher IOPS workloads and HDDs for cost-effective capacity. Ensure adequate cooling and power capacity in the rack, and integrate the server into existing HPE management and backup procedures.
