HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2x Xeon E5-2699 v3 768GB DDR4 rack server

Dual 18-core Xeon server for dense virtualisation

The HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF chassis arrives with two Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, each running at 2.3GHz with 18 cores and 45MB cache. 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed, leaving headroom up to the 3TB maximum for memory-heavy workloads. This configuration targets consolidation, database and virtualisation clusters that need high core counts in a 2U rack footprint.

Eight 2.5-inch bays with P440 SAS controller

The 8SFF front cage accepts up to eight SAS drives, while the Smart Array P440 controller provides hardware RAID without consuming a PCIe slot. Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundancy in a compact form factor. Integrated iLO Advanced remote management and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network card (two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports) are fitted, simplifying lights-out administration and high-throughput connectivity.

Redundant power and updated firmware for steady

Dual hot-plug 500W supplies share the load, reducing thermal stress on each unit during sustained compute tasks. BIOS and firmware are updated to the latest stable release before dispatch, and a full burn-in validates thermal stability under load. The rackmount dimensions of 36 x 24 x 10 inches and 40 weight units fit standard cabinets, while the integrated GPU handles basic console output without a discrete card.
