It's powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors (up to 86 cores) and up to 16 TB of DDR5 memory at speeds up to 6400 MT/s, delivering up to 2x higher general-compute performance than previous generations. New upgrades include support for up to 32 mixed SFF/EDSFF E3.S drives, an optional front-accessible NS204i-u boot device, up to 12 PCIe Gen5 slots plus two OCP 3.0 slots, and an available Direct Liquid Cooling module. It's managed via HPE iLO 7, which adds a hardware-based secure enclave and quantum-resistant firmware signing for enhanced security.

The MR (MegaRAID) and SR (Smart Array) controller families use different management tools and cannot be installed together in the same server. With a tri-mode U.3 backplane, both series support SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives, allowing mixed drive types in one system. This server has no built-in hardware RAID, so a storage controller is required for any RAID functionality — direct-attached SATA drives without one run in AHCI mode only. SR Series (SmartRAID) SR Series Installation Service Manual The SR series on this server is limited to one option: HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10 Type-p (PCIe plug-in) form factor only 8 external SAS lanes, no cache — used for connecting external SAS storage, not internal drive management No battery or capacitor required (no cache to protect) MR Series (MegaRAID) - View PDF MR Series Installation Service Manual Available in type-o (OCP) and type-p (PCIe plug-in) form factors Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC), requiring a separate energy pack (battery or hybrid capacitor) MR932i-p (900 series): PCIe Gen5, up to 32 SAS/NVMe drives, onboard battery included MR200/400 series supports SAS/SATA HDD and SSD only — no NVMe Choosing Between MR and SR MR932i-p – NVMe/SAS support not stated in manuals Need OCP slot → MR216i-o, MR416i-o, or MR408i-o No cache needed → MR216i-o/p (not valid for 24SFF x4 or 32SFF x4) 8SFF x1 only, cache needed → MR408i-o/p Cache + scales up to 32SFF x4 → MR416i-o/p Highest lane count (x32 PCIe Gen5) → MR932i-p; drive count not specified External SAS → E208e-p (Gen10, external, no cache) HPE DL580 Supported Boot Options Boot Front Install P79031-B21 Front (Box 4) – only if Box 4 has no drive cage installed Requires Front enablement kit P79031-B21 Cables connect directly to system board Boot Rear Install P80440-B21 Rear (power supply bay) – used if Box 4 is occupied Requires Rear enablement kit P80440-B21 Requires removing GPU cage to install Front and Rear Enable kits cannot be selected together Front enablement of NS204i-u Boot device requires Box 4 to be available.
