Identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server with twelve large-form-factor drive bays. It ships with a single Xeon E5-2643v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz, 4 GB of DDR4 memory, two 600 GB 15K SAS drives and a Smart HBA H240ar controller. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy. The system uses the Intel C610 chipset and includes a Matrox G200eH2 graphics adapter. No operating system is included.

Suitability

This configuration suits environments that need dense 3.5-inch SAS storage with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 in a compact rack footprint. Buyers who require a second processor installed, more than 4 GB of memory out of the box, solid-state drives or additional drive cages populated should look elsewhere. The 24 DIMM slots and second CPU socket allow later expansion when workloads grow.

Deciding spec

The twelve LFF SAS bays paired with the H240ar controller define the storage capacity and performance ceiling of this unit. If the application demands more than twelve 3.5-inch SAS drives or a different RAID feature set, this chassis will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the H240ar controller in the DL380 Gen9, and what step is often missed?

The H240ar mounts in the dedicated internal slot on the system board; the step often missed is connecting the SAS cables from the controller to the 12-bay LFF backplane before powering on.

What maintenance will the two 600 GB 15K SAS drives need later?

The 15K SAS drives are mechanical; plan to monitor SMART data and replace any drive that shows reallocated sectors or excessive latency to avoid array degradation.

What limit appears first when the E5-2643v3 runs sustained workloads?

With a single 3.4 GHz six-core processor installed, CPU thermal headroom and the 4 GB DDR4 memory ceiling become the first bottlenecks under sustained load.
