HPE ProLiant DL388 - 868709-AA1

The HPE ProLiant DL388 Gen10 868709-AA1 is the most accessible entry-level configuration in the DL388 Gen10 family, equipped with a 6-core Intel Xeon Bronze 3104 processor running at 1.7 GHz (85 W). It ships with 16 GB of DDR4-2666 on a single slot, 24 memory slots for expansion, and the HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 SW 6 Gb SATA controller — a software-based solution lighter than the P408i-a variants, suited to workloads without strong hardware RAID requirements. The 2U chassis offers 8 to 30 hot-plug SFF bays and a hot-swap platinum 500 W power supply.

With its 6-core Xeon Bronze 3104 and software SATA controller, this Entry CN configuration is suited to low-intensity deployments: print servers, application gateways, lightweight compute nodes, or training environments. The controller difference (S100i vs P408i-a) is the key differentiator compared to other 868xxx variants. Genuine HPE hardware, manufacturer warranty.
