2U rack server for virtualisation

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits in a standard 2U rack space and ships with two Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. Thirty-two gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory are installed across the 24 DIMM slots, leaving room to expand up to the platform maximum. Two 146 GB 15 K SAS drives connect to a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache, providing RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies deliver redundancy for continuous operation.

Suits dense compute and storage workloads

This configuration targets teams running virtualised infrastructure, database instances or high-throughput file services that benefit from 16 small-form-factor bays and hardware RAID with flash-backed cache. The installed 32 GB memory ceiling matches the processor limit, so workloads requiring more RAM per socket will need a different platform. Buyers who need GPU compute, additional drive bays beyond 16, or a newer processor generation should evaluate alternative servers.

16-bay SFF chassis decides density

The 16-bay 2.5-inch front panel sets the storage ceiling for this unit; no further drives can be added without the optional 8-bay expansion kit. If the application demands more than 16 spindles or solid-state devices in a single 2U enclosure, this chassis cannot accommodate them.

Installed 32 GB DDR4 matches processor maximum

The two E5-2630 v3 CPUs support a combined 32 GB of DDR4 at up to 2400 MT/s, and all 24 slots are populated to that limit. Any memory upgrade requires replacing the processors, so buyers anticipating larger datasets should plan for a CPU change.

Questions about this item

How do I install the E5-2630 v3 CPUs, and what step is often missed?

Align the processor with the socket keys, close the retention lever, then apply thermal paste before seating the heatsink — skipping the paste causes overheating.

What maintenance will the P440 4GB FBWC module need later?

The flash-backed write cache uses a capacitor pack that degrades over time; replace it when the controller reports a battery or capacitor health warning.

What limit appears first when the 146GB 15K SAS drives run sustained workloads?

The 6Gbps SAS link and 15K rpm platters cap sustained throughput, so sequential write speed hits the drive media limit before the controller or CPU saturates.
