Processor: Intel Xeon Silver 4509Y, 8 cores / 16 threads, base frequency 2.60 GHz, turbo up to 4.1 GHz, 22.5 MB L3 cache, TDP 125W. This is a 5th Gen Xeon Scalable processor (Emerald Rapids), supporting PCIe Gen5 and DDR5 memory.
Memory: 32 GB (1x32GB) dual-rank DDR5. The DL380 Gen11 platform supports up to 8 TB total DDR5 memory, leaving ample headroom for future expansion.
Storage Controller: HPE MR408i-o Gen11 (OCP form factor, x8 lanes, 4GB cache). This is a tri-mode controller supporting SAS/SATA/NVMe drives, occupying the OCP slot rather than a standard PCIe slot, preserving PCIe expansion space.
Power Supply: 1000W Flex Slot Titanium hot-plug power supply. Titanium is Intel's highest energy-efficiency rating; single power supply configuration. Adding a second unit later enables redundancy.
Networking: 1GbE x4-port network card, covering basic management and business network connectivity needs.
