HPE P90823-005 ProLiant DL380 Gen12 Configured Server

Overview

The HPE P90823-005 is a factory-configured ProLiant DL380 Gen12 server built around the AMD EPYC 9005-series 6505P processor, 4x32GB registered DDR5 memory (128GB total), an 8-bay SFF drive cage, the NS204i-u v2 boot controller, and the MR408i-o storage adapter — all in a 2-port 1GbE base configuration. At 104.61 lb, this is a dense, rack-ready platform sized for compute-intensive enterprise and infrastructure workloads where validated factory configuration matters more than field assembly. The P90823-005 ships as a complete, tested unit, eliminating the compatibility and firmware risks that come with self-configured builds.

Compatibility

This configuration is specific to the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 platform. The NS204i-u v2 is an HPE OCP NVMe boot device; the MR408i-o is an HPE OCP storage adapter — both are Gen12 platform components and are not interchangeable with DL380 Gen10 or Gen11 chassis. Memory (32GB DDR5 RDIMMs) is validated for Gen12 DIMM slots only. Rack integration requires an EIA-standard 19-inch cabinet with sufficient depth and power delivery for a 2U, high-density compute node. Pair with HPE-validated rack rails and cable management arms for supported deployments.

Installation Notes

At 104.61 lb, two-person lift and proper rack safety practices are required — do not attempt single-person rack installation. Verify your rack's weight rating and power infrastructure before deployment; a fully populated 8SFF DL380 Gen12 draws substantial power at load. The 2x1GbE base NIC configuration is suitable for management and light data paths; production storage or VM traffic workloads will require additional NIC expansion via the available PCIe or OCP slots. Confirm data center power (voltage, phase) and cooling airflow meet HPE's Gen12 platform environmental requirements before commissioning.
