HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2670v3 12C 2.3GHz 16GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with dual Xeon E5-2670v3 processors, each providing twelve cores at 2.3GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots. The H240ar controller manages two 1TB 7.2K SAS drives in the eight-bay SFF chassis. Redundant 500W hot-swap power supplies are included.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and sufficient depth for this chassis. Confirm that your power distribution units can deliver the required current to both 500W supplies. Ensure your network infrastructure supports the onboard Matrox G200eH2 graphics for remote management. Check that any additional DDR4 modules you plan to add match the 2400MT/s ECC registered specification.

Suitable for virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits teams needing a dense two-socket platform with hardware RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 and room to grow memory toward 3TB. Buyers who need GPU compute acceleration should look elsewhere because only the basic Matrox controller is present. Organisations requiring NVMe boot drives must add the optional bay-2 kit, which is not included. Environments that demand single-thread performance above 2.3GHz will not be satisfied by these processors.
