When purchasing a refurbished server, one of the most critical factors to consider is the warranty. A reliable warranty provides peace of mind, ensures product quality, and offers protection against potential issues. At ServerWorlds, we’ve been helping customers navigate the refurbished IT hardware market since 2002, and we’re here to share everything you need to know about server warranties, with a focus on the HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Rack Server.
Understanding Refurbished Server Warranties
A warranty on a refurbished server guarantees that the product meets specific quality and performance standards. Unlike new servers, refurbished servers undergo thorough testing, repairs, and upgrades to ensure reliability. However, warranties can vary significantly between sellers. When shopping for a refurbished server, ensure the warranty covers critical components such as processors, memory, and power supplies. At ServerWorlds, we back all our refurbished products, including the HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10, with a comprehensive 1-year ground parts warranty for customers in the lower 48 states.
Why a Warranty is Essential for Refurbished Servers
Refurbished servers offer an excellent balance between performance and cost, but as pre-owned equipment, they may have experienced some prior wear. A warranty is your safeguard against unforeseen issues, ensuring repairs or replacements are covered if something goes wrong. For example, the HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 from ServerWorlds includes redundant power supplies and hot-plug SSDs, both of which are protected under our warranty—offering you confidence in your investment.
Key Features of the HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10 Warranty
- When evaluating warranties, it’s important to look for coverage that aligns with the server’s components and usage. The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen10’s 1-year warranty includes:
- Processors and Memory: Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6132 processors and 256GB of DDR4 ECC Registered memory are crucial to performance, and warranty protection ensures they’re always operational.
- Storage and Controllers: This server comes equipped with four 1.92TB SATA SSDs and a P408i-AR 2GB Smart Array Controller. Our warranty covers these vital storage components, so you never have to worry about data accessibility.

What to Look for in a Server Warranty
When assessing a refurbished server warranty, prioritize the following:
- Duration: Opt for a minimum of one year, ensuring adequate coverage.
