HPE P83302-005 ProLiant DL380 Gen11 Rack Server
The HPE P83302-005 is a 2U rack server based on the ProLiant DL380 Gen11 platform, configured with an Intel Xeon Gold 5416S processor, 2x32GB of memory, and an 8-bay SFF SSD drive cage. At 91.09 lb and 39.29 x 23.62 x 10.75 inches, this is a full-depth enterprise chassis sized for standard 19-inch two-post or four-post racks. The P83302-005 (often searched as P83302 005) is manufactured in Mexico and classified under UNSPSC 43211502 (rack-mount servers).
Overview
The DL380 Gen11 is HPE's mainstream two-socket 2U workhorse, broadly deployed in enterprise data centers, surveillance back-ends, VMS recording infrastructure, and HPC edge nodes. This specific SKU ships pre-configured — processor, memory, and drive cage are factory-selected, which simplifies procurement for standardized build-outs and eliminates the guesswork of CTO (configure-to-order) quoting.
Key Features
- 8-Bay SFF SSD Cage: Eight small-form-factor solid-state drive slots give you a high-IOPS storage foundation without spinning media — relevant for VMS deployments where simultaneous read/write across many camera streams is the bottleneck, not raw capacity.
- 2x32GB Memory (64GB DDR5): 64GB of factory-installed RAM is sufficient headroom for hypervisor, VMS engine, and analytics workloads running concurrently on a single host without a memory upgrade at commissioning.
- 91.09 lb / Full-Depth 2U Chassis: At just over 91 lb fully populated, rack rail selection and floor load planning matter — confirm your rack supports the weight before ordering additional drive or expansion cards.
- Mexico Origin (UNSPSC 43211502): Country of origin is MX; buyers with TAA or NDAA supply-chain requirements should verify current HPE compliance documentation for this specific configuration before committing.
Integration & Compatibility
The DL380 Gen11 platform supports HPE iLO 6 remote management, HPE Smart Array controllers, and standard PCIe Gen5 expansion. VMS compatibility (Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, Avigilon Control Center) depends on the OS and storage configuration deployed — none of those are confirmed in the available evidence for this SKU, so verify directly with your VMS vendor's hardware compatibility list before provisioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What processor does the P83302-005 include?
A: The P83302-005 ships with an Intel Xeon Gold 5416S processor as indicated by the product configuration string. Verify clock speed and core count against the HPE QuickSpecs for this SKU before finalizing workload sizing.
Q: How many drive bays does the P83302-005 have?
A: This configuration includes 8 SFF (small form factor) SSD bays. Additional expansion options depend on the backplane and any optional drive cage kits — confirm with HPE QuickSpecs.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the P83302-005?
A: The chassis measures 39.29 inches long x 23.62 inches wide x 10.75 inches tall and weighs 91.09 lb. Confirm rack depth clearance before installation.
Q: Is the P83302-005 suitable for VMS/surveillance recording workloads?
A: The 8-bay SFF SSD configuration and 64GB RAM make it a viable foundation for VMS recording servers. Actual camera channel capacity depends on codec, resolution, and the VMS software deployed — consult your VMS vendor's server sizing guide.
Q: What is the country of origin for the P83302-005?
A: The P83302-005 is manufactured in Mexico (MX) per distribution feed data. Buyers with TAA compliance requirements should verify current program eligibility with HPE documentation for this specific SKU.
When I spec the P83302-005 for a surveillance back-end, the detail that drives the conversation is the 8-bay SFF SSD cage — not the processor badge. On a VMS recording server, storage I/O is almost always the first bottleneck when camera count climbs, and all-SSD from the factory means you're not retrofitting drives on day two of commissioning.
Technical Highlights:
- 91.09 lb Chassis Weight: This is a fully-populated, full-depth 2U — confirm your rack's weight rating and rail kit compatibility before the unit ships. Undersized rails on a 91 lb server are a real installation hazard.
- 64GB DDR5 Factory RAM: Enough headroom to run a hypervisor, VMS engine, and edge analytics concurrently without a day-one memory upgrade — simplifies build standardization across multiple sites.
- 8x SFF SSD Bays: All-solid-state storage eliminates the seek-latency spikes that cause frame drops on high-channel-count recording servers. Right-size total capacity to your retention policy before specifying drive sizes.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 39.29 inches deep, verify your rack has sufficient front-to-back clearance — shallow two-post open-frame racks often can't accommodate full-depth DL380 chassis without a cable-management extension.
- Country of origin is Mexico; TAA and NDAA compliance status for this specific SKU should be confirmed against current HPE program documentation before procurement on government or regulated contracts.
This configuration is well-suited as a dedicated VMS recording node in a mid-to-large physical security deployment — particularly where an integrator is standardizing on a single server SKU across multiple identical sites and needs a factory-configured, ship-ready unit rather than a CTO build.
