HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2699 v3 256GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 dual-socket rack server

This 2U rack-mount server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3 GHz with eighteen cores and 45 MB cache. The system includes 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart Array P440 SAS controller. It is aimed at organisations that need dense compute and virtualisation capacity in a standard rack footprint.

Eight 2.5-inch drive bays with SAS/SATA support

The chassis provides eight small-form-factor bays that accept SAS or SATA drives through the installed P440 controller. No drives are fitted, so you must supply your own storage media. The controller manages RAID levels but the number of supported arrays depends on the drives you install and the firmware configuration you choose.

Verify rack depth, power and network needs

The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 pounds, so confirm your rack depth and weight allowance before ordering. Dual 500 W flex-slot power supplies are installed; check that your PDU connectors and circuit capacity match. Network interfaces include two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports, so ensure your switch uplinks and cabling are compatible.
