HPE DL380 Gen9 24SFF 1x Xeon E5-2699v4 256GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 24SFF Server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 24SFF server delivers high-density compute in a 2U rack form factor. It arrives with a single Xeon E5-2699v4 processor running at 2.2 GHz across 22 cores with 55 MB cache. The chassis supports up to 24 small-form-factor drive bays and includes a Smart Array P440ar SAS controller with expander. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced.

Virtualisation hosts and database nodes

This configuration suits virtualisation clusters, in-memory databases and compute-heavy workloads that benefit from high core counts and large memory capacity. The installed 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory provides a strong starting point, expandable to 3 TB across 24 DIMM slots. Buyers who require redundant CPU performance from day one should note only one processor is installed, leaving the second socket empty. Organisations needing pre-populated storage must add drives separately.

24-bay 2.5-inch SAS chassis

The defining specification is the 24SFF chassis which accepts up to twenty-four 2.5-inch SAS drives. This density enables substantial local storage arrays or high-IOPS caching tiers within a standard 36 x 24 x 10 inch footprint. The P440ar controller manages RAID across the backplane and expander. Dual 800 W hot-plug power supplies provide redundancy. Network connectivity includes two 10 GbE and two 1 GbE ports via Intel I350/X540 adapters.
