Frequently Asked Questions
What drive configurations does the DL380 Gen10 support?
From 8× 2.5″ up to 26× 2.5″ (with NVMe backplane options), or LFF layouts up to 15× 3.5″ plus rear bays. Pick the chassis above that matches your storage plan — each links to a configurator with tested drive options.
How much RAM can the HP DL380 Gen10 take?
24 DDR4 slots support up to 3 TB with 128 GB LRDIMMs; typical refurbished builds run 128 GB–768 GB on 32/64 GB RDIMMs. Both CPUs must be installed to use all 24 slots.
Is the DL380 Gen10 still a smart buy in 2026?
Yes — it hits the refurbished sweet spot: modern-enough Xeon Scalable CPUs, cheap DDR4, huge parts availability, and full support in current VMware, Proxmox, and Windows Server releases — at roughly a third of Gen11 pricing.
Is there a warranty on HP DL380 Gen10 servers from PCSP?
Yes — a free 1-year warranty (parts, labor, and return shipping) is standard on every configured unit, with optional extensions to 5 years. If the server will run production workloads, on-site response plans including next-business-day and 24×7×4 tiers are available.
Do you build HP DL380 Gen10 servers to order?
Yes — most units sell as Build-Your-Own: choose the chassis, then CPUs, memory, storage, and networking, and we build and load-test the server before shipping. For configurations outside the online options (unusual drive mixes, GPUs, OS imaging, volume orders), get a custom quote.
