HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre deployment. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. Storage is handled by an HP Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache, supporting two 146GB 15K 2.5-inch SAS drives in a 16-bay SFF chassis. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies provide power redundancy.

Suits general-purpose virtualisation

This configuration suits environments that need dense compute with hardware RAID and redundant power in a standard 2U form factor. The single processor leaves one socket free for future expansion up to 36 total cores. Buyers who need GPU acceleration, more than 16 SFF drive bays without adding the optional second bay, or an operating system pre-installed should look elsewhere. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics is limited to basic management console output.

32GB DDR4 memory installed across 24 slots

The system arrives with 32GB of DDR4 memory populated across the 24 available DIMM slots, 12 per processor socket. Maximum supported capacity reaches 3TB when both processors are installed and higher-capacity modules are used. Memory speed operates up to 2400MT/s depending on the processor capability. This installed capacity and slot layout determine whether the server meets immediate workload requirements or requires additional memory kits at purchase.
