HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2697 v3 512GB DDR4 rack server

Dual 14-core Xeon E5-2697 v3 server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 delivers two Intel Xeon E5-2697 v3 processors at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each and 35 MB cache. It targets organisations that need dense compute for virtualisation, databases or batch workloads in a 2U rack form factor. Buyers seeking GPU acceleration or single-thread frequency above 3.5 GHz should look elsewhere.

4-bay 3.5-inch LFF chassis with P440 controller

The 4LFF chassis accepts up to four 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives behind the Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. Two 500 W Flex Slot power supplies and a dual-port 1 GbE 332T adapter are installed. iLO Advanced remote management is included. Builds requiring more than four drive bays or 10 GbE networking need a different chassis.

512 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory expandable to 3 TB

The system ships with 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs across 24 slots, leaving headroom to reach the 3 TB platform maximum. Memory bandwidth scales with both CPUs populated. Workloads that exceed 3 TB total capacity or need persistent memory modules cannot be accommodated on this generation.
