Product identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 600GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. The platform targets businesses that need dense, reliable compute for virtualization, database or line-of-business workloads in a standard rack environment.

Installation notes

The chassis uses 24 small-form-factor drive bays and 24 DDR4 DIMM slots arranged twelve per processor, so adding a second CPU unlocks the remaining slots. Redundant hot-swap 500W power supplies slide in from the rear without tools. Common issues include forgetting to populate memory in matched pairs per channel, which reduces bandwidth, and not updating the P440 firmware before creating large RAID 50 or 60 arrays.

Pre-order checks

Verify that your rack provides 2U of clear height and that the power distribution units can deliver two independent feeds for the redundant supplies. Confirm the operating system you plan to install has drivers for the Matrox G200eH2 graphics and the C610 chipset. Ensure you have enough SAS cables or backplane space if you intend to expand beyond the two factory-installed drives.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the RAID array is healthy after installing the HP Smart Array P440 4GB FBWC controller?

Use the Smart Storage Administrator during boot or within the OS to confirm both 600GB SAS drives show OK status, the 4GB FBWC module reports charged, and the logical drive is configured as RAID 1.

Which components are included in the box and which must be purchased separately?

The 2U chassis, one Xeon E5-2643 v3 CPU, 16GB DDR4 memory, two 600GB 15K SAS drives in trays, the P440 4GB FBWC controller and two 500W redundant power supplies are included; an operating system, additional CPUs, extra DDR4 DIMMs and more drives are not.

Should I choose the single E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz configuration or add a second processor?

The single six-core 3.4GHz CPU provides 12 hyper-threaded cores and supports 12 DIMM slots; adding a second processor unlocks the remaining 12 slots and doubles core count for workloads that scale beyond 12 threads.
