HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 96GB DDR4 P440 4GB FBWC 24 SFF

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3GHz and 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. It includes an HP Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies are fitted. No operating system or drives are included.

Twenty-four SFF drive bays for SAS storage

The chassis provides twenty-four small form factor 2.5-inch drive bays with trays and screws supplied, designed for SAS hard drives or SSDs. A second processor can be added to reach the maximum of twenty-four cores and 3TB of memory across twenty-four DIMM slots. Buyers who need more than twenty-four drive bays or who require a different drive interface should look elsewhere.

Memory ceiling fixed at 96GB with one CPU

With a single processor installed, the maximum memory capacity is 96GB, matching the amount already populated across the twelve available slots for that CPU. Adding the second processor unlocks the remaining twelve slots and raises the system limit to 3TB. If the workload will not expand beyond the current memory ceiling, this configuration avoids the cost of a second CPU.
