HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server Xeon E5-2630 v3 2.4 GHz 64 GB DDR4 2×500 GB SATA B140i

HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processor running at 2.4 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. It is built for virtualisation hosts, database nodes or general-purpose compute clusters that need dense processing in a standard rack footprint. Buyers who need dual-socket performance out of the box should look elsewhere.

Redundant power and eight SFF drive bays

Two hot-swap 500 W power supplies provide redundancy so a single supply failure will not take the system offline. The chassis offers eight 2.5-inch SFF bays populated with two 500 GB 7.2 K RPM enterprise SATA drives on a B140i software RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. The B140i handles SATA only, so SAS or NVMe drives cannot be used on this controller. Builders who require hardware RAID or SAS connectivity need a different controller.

64 GB DDR4 installed at the 24-slot maximum

The system arrives with all 24 DIMM slots filled to reach the 64 GB installed capacity supported by this single-processor configuration. Memory runs at up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor capability. Expansion beyond 64 GB requires adding a second processor to unlock the remaining 12 slots. Customers planning large memory footprints must budget for the second CPU.
