HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 2.4GHz 96GB DDR4 2x 500GB SATA B140i

Server configuration

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server fitted with dual Xeon E5-2630 v3 processors running at 2.4GHz. The system arrives with 96GB of DDR4 memory installed across its 24 DIMM slots and includes two 500GB SATA drives managed by a B140i software RAID controller. It targets environments that need dense compute and redundant power in a standard rack footprint.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and can supply adequate cooling for a dual-processor chassis with redundant 500W hot-swap supplies. The B140i controller supports SATA drives only, so any additional storage must use the SATA interface. Memory expansion uses DDR4 ECC Registered modules up to 2400MT/s; the installed 96GB already reaches the processor-limited maximum capacity.

Build integration

Eight SFF drive bays accept 2.5-inch SATA drives and include trays, while optional bay kits can expand the count to 16 or 24 bays or add NVME support in bay 2. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics output handles basic console management without requiring a discrete GPU slot. Dual redundant power supplies free the deployment from single-point power failures, and the C610 chipset underpins the I/O connectivity for the installed components.
