HPE DL580 Gen9 5SFF 4x Xeon E7-8890v4 2.2GHz 128GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL580 Gen9 four-processor rack server

This HPE DL580 Gen9 rack server ships with four Intel Xeon E7-8890v4 processors running at 2.2GHz. The system provides 128GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and supports a maximum of 6TB. Five 2.5-inch small-form-factor drive bays are available for SATA or SAS storage. An integrated HPE iLO Advanced module handles remote management.

Storage limits of the SATA and SAS interface

The onboard Smart Array P830 controller manages up to five 2.5-inch bays using SATA or SAS drives. SATA devices operate at 6Gb/s while SAS devices reach 12Gb/s, so mixed arrays run at the lower speed. The controller includes 4GB of RAID cache to absorb write bursts. Maximum raw capacity depends on the largest drives you install in the five bays.

Installation notes and common issues

The chassis measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, so plan rack space and lifting assistance before unpacking. Two 1200W Flex Slot power supplies are pre-installed; verify that your PDU cables match the IEC connectors. Memory must be DDR4 ECC registered — other DDR generations will not fit or post. Rail kits are optional and must be ordered separately if your rack requires them.
