HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF Xeon E5-2680v4 384GB DDR4

12-Bay Rack Server for Dense Storage

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF chassis supports up to twelve 3.5-inch drive bays in a 2U form factor. It arrives with one Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4GHz with 14 cores and 35MB cache. The system includes 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and an HP Smart Array P440ar controller with SAS expander for internal connectivity.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing large memory

This configuration fits environments that prioritise RAM capacity and internal drive density over GPU acceleration. The single-socket layout leaves one processor socket open for future expansion to two CPUs. Buyers who require pre-installed storage drives or discrete graphics hardware should look at alternative configurations that include those components.

384GB DDR4 ECC memory installed

The installed 384GB DDR4 ECC registered memory operates across the available DIMM slots to support the single Xeon E5-2680v4 processor. This capacity represents a substantial portion of the 3TB maximum supported by the platform when fully populated with two processors. The memory type and capacity directly determine the virtual machine density and in-memory database performance achievable.
