HPE 801939-001 DL380p G8 V2 Motherboard

HPE 801939-001 Motherboard for ProLiant DL380p Gen8 (v1 and v2 Processors)

Part number 801939-001 is a system board spare for the HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen8, the 2U rack server that was a common choice for virtualisation and database work in its generation. HPE’s own support team has confirmed this number against the DL380p Gen8 spare parts list.

The board is sold as supporting both the original Xeon E5-2600 processors and the later E5-2600 v2 refresh, which is where the v2 in the product name comes from. That makes it a useful replacement for servers that have already been upgraded to v2 chips, as well as for original v1 builds.

Both New and Refurbished versions are listed, subject to stock. Condition notes and warranty details appear when you select an option.

DL380p Gen8 Board Numbers Explained

Over the life of the DL380p Gen8, HPE issued more than one system board spare. Resellers list 662530-001 as an earlier DL380p Gen8 board and 732143-001 as a DL380p Gen8 v2 board, while 801939-001 is listed as a later v1/v2 board. HPE often supersedes one spare number with another as boards are revised, so the number on your failed board may not match this one even though the server is the same.

The key question is processor support. If your server runs E5-2600 v2 chips, the replacement must support v2. 801939-001 is described by several suppliers as supporting both generations, but we suggest sending us the processor model if you want it checked before ordering.

Processors, Memory and Firmware

The board takes one or two Intel Xeon E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2 processors in LGA2011 sockets. When two processors are fitted they should be the same model.

Memory is DDR3 with ECC, across 24 DIMM slots (12 per processor). Registered, load reduced and unbuffered DIMM types are listed for the platform, with speeds of 1066, 1333 or 1600MHz depending on the module and processor. Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs and UDIMMs in the same server. The maximum is 768GB.

Replacement boards can arrive with an older system ROM. If you are fitting v2 processors, update the ROM to a release that supports them, using the HPE Service Pack for ProLiant or a ROM flash component.

Replacing the DL380p Gen8 Board

The new board is supplied bare. Move these parts across from the old board:

• Processors and heatsinks, cleaning off and replacing thermal compound
• Every DIMM, kept in its original slot
• PCIe riser cages and cards, the FlexibleLOM adapter and any Smart Array cache module and battery

Once the server powers up, re-enter the serial number and product ID in the ROM-Based Setup Utility. HPE’s Gen8 service guides describe this step, and it keeps iLO 4, Intelligent Provisioning and warranty lookups pointing at the right system.

Refurbished 801939-001

Refurbished is a previously used board and the lower cost route for keeping DL380p Gen8 servers in production. Review the details shown for this option before you buy.

801939-001 Technical Specifications

Compatible Server

801939-001 is for the HPE ProLiant DL380p Gen8. The DL380e Gen8 is a different design that uses E5-2400 processors and its own boards, so this part is not interchangeable with it. Gen9 and later DL380 servers moved to DDR4 and new sockets, so they need boards such as the HPE 843307-001 DL380 Gen9 system board.

Parts That Pair With This Board

• Processor cooling: the HPE 662522-001 DL380p Gen8 heatsink for processors up to 135W
• Airflow: the HPE 662518-001 DL380p Gen8 fan cage
• Storage: our range of server storage controllers
• Other boards: browse all server motherboards

How to Be Sure It Fits

• Check the front label says ProLiant DL380p Gen8, not DL380e
• Read the spare number from the old board or the HPE spares label
• Note whether the processors are E5-2600 or E5-2600 v2
• Write down the serial number and product ID before removing the old board

Frequently Asked Questions

Does 801939-001 support E5-2600 v2 processors?

It is listed as a v1/v2 board for the DL380p Gen8, supporting both E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 chips. Make sure the system ROM is updated to a release that supports v2 processors.

Will it fit a DL380e Gen8?

No. The DL380e Gen8 uses E5-2400 processors and a different board. 801939-001 is for the DL380p Gen8.

My old board shows 662530-001 or 732143-001. Can I use this one?

These are other DL380p Gen8 board numbers. 801939-001 is a later v1/v2 board for the same server, but send us your processor model and board label if you want it confirmed.

What has to be configured after the swap?

Re-enter the serial number and product ID in the ROM-Based Setup Utility, then check the system ROM and iLO 4 firmware are current.

How do New and Refurbished differ, and do you deliver in the UK?

New is an unused board and Refurbished is previously used. Condition and warranty show when you select an option, subject to stock, and UK delivery options appear at checkout.
