HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 24B SFF 2U rack server E5-2643 v3 6C 3.4GHz 48GB DDR4 2x 600GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4GHz and 48GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Two 600GB 15K SAS drives and a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache handle storage. Redundant 500W power supplies support continuous operation.

Suits dense compute and virtualisation.

This configuration suits teams running virtualisation, databases or high-frequency compute in a compact 2U form factor. The 24-bay SFF chassis allows dense local storage expansion. Buyers needing GPU acceleration for AI training or rendering should look elsewhere, as only the integrated Matrox G200 graphics are present. Single-socket population also limits maximum core count to six.

Single Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core 3.4GHz CPU installed

The server arrives with one Xeon E5-2643 v3 processor delivering six cores at 3.4GHz. A second socket is available for a matching CPU to double core count, but the installed processor alone defines the out-of-the-box performance ceiling. Memory runs at up to 2400MT/s depending on the CPU capability. This spec determines whether the system meets your thread-count requirements.
