HPE DL380 Gen9 12LFF Xeon E5-2680v4 64GB DDR4

12-Bay DL380 Gen9 Server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rackmount server system built around a twelve-bay 3.5-inch chassis. It arrives with one Intel Xeon E5-2680v4 processor running at 2.4GHz with fourteen cores and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Dual 800W hot-plug power supplies and an HPE Smart Array P440ar SAS controller with expander are installed. Integrated graphics and HPE iLO remote management provide out-of-band control.

Suited For Dense Storage Workloads

This configuration suits teams that need maximum internal 3.5-inch drive capacity in a standard rack depth. The twelve-bay chassis and SAS expander support large SATA hard-drive arrays for backup, archive or media repositories. Buyers who require 2.5-inch bay density, more than two processors, or a GPU-ready riser should evaluate other platforms. The single CPU installed leaves one socket open for future expansion.

Single Processor Limits Parallel Throughput

The server ships with one Xeon E5-2680v4 installed and supports a second identical processor. With only one CPU active, memory bandwidth and core count are halved compared to the dual-socket maximum. Workloads that scale linearly with core count — such as heavy virtualization hosts or render farms — will see a direct ceiling until the second socket is populated.
