HPE DL380 Gen9 12LFF 2x Xeon E5-2690 v4 32GB DDR4 rack server

Dual-socket Xeon server for dense 3.5-inch storage

The HPE DL380 Gen9 chassis holds up to 12 large-form-factor drive bays and ships with two Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6GHz. Fourteen cores per CPU and 35MB of cache per socket deliver strong multi-threaded throughput for virtualisation hosts or database clusters. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across two 16GB modules.

Expandable storage and networking foundation

A Smart Array P440ar controller with SAS expander manages the SATA backplane so every bay can be populated without extra cabling. Two 800W hot-plug power supplies provide redundancy while freeing internal space for additional drives or PCIe cards. Integrated Intel I350 and X540 adapters expose two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports for flexible network segmentation.

Steady output under continuous demand

Firmware and BIOS are updated to the latest stable release before a full burn-in verifies thermal stability across both sockets. iLO Advanced remote management lets operators monitor sensor data and power cycles without physical access. The 12-bay airflow design keeps component temperatures consistent during prolonged compute or storage workloads.
