Purpose-built 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server equipped with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz, 48GB of DDR4 memory and two 600GB 15K SAS drives. It targets organisations that need dense compute in a standard rack footprint without committing to dual-socket configurations.

Memory ceiling

Installed memory is fixed at 48GB and the system maximum is also 48GB, so the 24 DIMM slots cannot be used to expand beyond that limit. Buyers who need more than 48GB of RAM should look elsewhere.

Drive installation

The 12 LFF drive bays accept 3.5-inch SAS trays that are included with the drives, making drive swaps straightforward. The rear drive cage option consumes the riser 2 slot, so plan PCIe card placement before adding extra bays.

Questions about this item

How does the single 3.4 GHz six-core Xeon perform once it is running workloads inside the 2U chassis?

The installed E5-2643 v3 delivers six cores at 3.4 GHz with hyper-threading for twelve threads, giving strong single-thread speed for database or virtualisation tasks while the 2U form factor provides enough airflow to sustain boost clocks under load.

What does the H240ar controller’s 12 Gb SAS link mean for the two 600 GB 15 K drives in practice?

The controller supports 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA, but the supplied 15 K drives operate at 6 Gbps, so the array runs at the drive speed while the controller headroom remains for faster SAS SSDs later.

Will the twelve large-form-factor bays accept standard 3.5-inch SAS drives without extra parts?

Yes, the twelve LFF bays take 3.5-inch SAS drives directly; trays are included with the drives and no additional caddies or adapters are required for installation.
