Server HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus 4309Y, 32GB RAM, RAID controller Smart Array MR416i‑p

HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Plus with 4309Y processor, 32 GB memory and integrated Smart Array MR416i‑p RAID controller is a 2U rack server designed for virtualization, database workloads and general-purpose enterprise tasks. It provides hardware RAID management, scalable internal storage with small form factor drive bays and redundant power to ensure continuous operation in data center and business IT environments.

Advantages

The server combines an 8-core 4309Y CPU with 32 GB of RAM and an integrated Smart Array MR416i‑p controller, delivering a balance of compute, memory and hardware RAID for improved data protection and performance. Compact 2U chassis with SFF drive support and dual 10 Gb SFP+ network connectivity offer flexible deployment options while a single hot-plug 800 W titanium power supply in this renewed unit supports reliable uptime and efficient power use.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts for small to medium-sized VM deployments
• Relational and small-to-medium database workloads
• General-purpose enterprise server tasks such as file, application and directory services
• Edge and branch office installations where a compact 2U form factor is required

When it may not be suitable

This renewed configuration with a single 32 GB memory population and an 8-core 4309Y CPU may not be adequate for very large-scale virtualization clusters, high-performance computing, or heavy in-memory database workloads that require large RAM capacities or higher core counts. For environments demanding multiple redundant power supplies out of the box or maximum I/O expansion, a different chassis or higher-tier configuration could be preferable.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 2U rackmount server
• Processor: Intel 4309Y, 8 cores, base frequency 2.8 GHz
• Memory: 32 GB DDR memory (installed)
• Storage interface: integrated Smart Array MR416i‑p RAID controller
• Drive bays: 8 x SFF (small form factor) front bays
• Network: 2 x 10 Gb SFP+ (OCP mezzanine style)
• Power supply: 1 x 800 W titanium hot-plug
• Use case: enterprise virtualization, databases, general-purpose server

How to use

Install the server into a standard 19-inch rack occupying 2U of rack space. Populate additional memory and storage as required for your workload, configure logical volumes and redundancy levels using the Smart Array MR416i‑p management tools, and connect network SFP+ ports to your 10 Gb switch infrastructure. Apply firmware and driver updates from the vendor and integrate with your hypervisor or operating system following standard HPE deployment procedures.

What to consider before purchase

• Current memory capacity and whether additional RAM is required for planned workloads
• Required storage capacity and RAID level support provided by the MR416i‑p controller
• Network topology compatibility with dual 10 Gb SFP+ ports
• Redundancy needs for power supplies and potential need for additional PSUs
• This is a renewed (refurbished) unit—check warranty, refurbishment level and tested condition

Usage recommendations

For balanced enterprise workloads, expand memory and populate SFF drives to match performance and capacity requirements, use the MR416i‑p to set appropriate RAID levels for redundancy and performance, and keep firmware up to date to ensure compatibility and stability in virtualized or database environments.
