HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server E5-2670v3 12C 2.3GHz 96GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-center workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 96 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The chassis includes twelve 3.5-inch LFF drive bays populated with two 1 TB 7.2K SAS drives and an HP Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy.

Suits virtualization hosts needing dense CPU cores

This configuration suits teams running virtualization clusters, database instances or compute-heavy applications that benefit from twelve physical cores and twenty-four threads. The installed 96 GB DDR4 matches the single-processor maximum, so memory cannot be expanded without adding a second CPU. Buyers who need more than twelve LFF bays, who require GPU compute, or who want a smaller tower form factor should look at something else.

Single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core 2.3 GHz

The server operates with one E5-2670v3 CPU installed and a second socket available for future upgrade. Adding the second processor would double core count to twenty-four and raise the memory ceiling to 3 TB across all twenty-four slots. The H240ar controller delivers 12 Gb/s SAS and 6 Gb/s SATA connectivity to the twelve front bays. No operating system is included.
