HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U Rack Server E5-2630 v3 8GB B140i

Purpose-built 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack-mount system designed for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Upgrade path from limited capacity

The chassis supports a second processor to reach 16 cores and 32 threads, while 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to 3 TB using 4 GB to 64 GB modules at 2400 MT/s. Eight 2.5-inch SFF bays accept SATA or SAS drives, and the B140i controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA devices. Additional NVMe or SFF cages can be fitted in the second and third bay positions when performance or density requirements grow.

Fits virtualisation hosts needing dense compute

Organisations consolidating virtual machines or running memory-intensive applications benefit from the high core count and large DIMM capacity. Buyers who require hardware RAID with cache protection, integrated NVMe boot, or GPU acceleration should evaluate alternative platforms that include those features.
