HPE DL380 Gen9 8SFF 2× Xeon E5-2630 v4 384GB DDR4 rack server

HPE DL380 Gen9 dual Xeon server

The HPE DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server equipped with two Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 processors running at 2.2GHz, each providing 10 cores and 25MB cache. It arrives with 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across its 24 DIMM slots and supports a maximum capacity of 3TB. An HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages the eight 2.5-inch drive bays, which are populated with two drives but can be reconfigured to suit specific storage requirements.

Suited for virtualisation hosts

This configuration suits organisations that need a dual-socket platform with a large DDR4 footprint for virtualisation, database caching or in-memory analytics. The integrated Intel I350 and X540 network adapters deliver two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports for flexible connectivity. Buyers who require GPU acceleration, more than eight drive bays or a single-socket design should evaluate alternative platforms.

384GB DDR4 ECC memory capacity

The installed 384GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is the defining specification for this server. It determines the scale of virtual machines, containers or data sets that can run entirely in RAM without swapping. The system uses DDR4 technology exclusively; other memory generations are not compatible and must not be ordered for this chassis.
