HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 2U Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads that need dual-processor performance. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core CPUs running at 3.4GHz and 96GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The B140i software RAID controller supports SATA drives in RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 configurations. This system suits virtualisation hosts, database nodes or compute clusters that value density and redundant power.

Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies

Two 500W hot-swap power supplies provide N+1 redundancy so a single supply failure does not interrupt operation. The 2U chassis uses managed fan arrays that scale speed to thermal load, keeping acoustic output lower during light utilisation while maintaining safe temperatures under full CPU and memory stress. Power draw varies with processor load and installed drive count, but the redundant design ensures continuous delivery without a shutdown event.

Eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays and B140i SATA RAID

The front panel holds eight small-form-factor bays for 2.5-inch SATA SSDs or HDDs; no drives are included. The B140i controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 for SATA devices only, so SAS or NVMe media require a separate controller. Two drive trays with screws are supplied for immediate installation. An integrated Matrox G200eH2 GPU with 16MB video memory provides basic console output without occupying a PCIe slot.

Questions about this item

How do I install the CPUs in this 2U rack server and what step is commonly missed?

Install both Xeon E5-2643 v3 processors into the two sockets on the Intel C610 chipset board, then populate DDR4 DIMMs in the 12 slots per processor; the step often missed is matching each DIMM to its owning CPU so memory channels balance across the 24 total slots.

Which components will need replacement first during the life of this server?

The two 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies and the cooling fans are the primary field-replaceable units; drive trays for the 8 SFF 2.5-inch bays may also wear with repeated swaps, while the B140i software RAID controller has no battery or cache module to service.

What limit appears first when this server runs sustained workloads?

The B140i software RAID supports only SATA drives and RAID 0/1/5/10, so sustained write throughput caps at the SATA interface speed; CPU thermal limits on the dual 3.4 GHz six-core Xeons and the 96 GB DDR4 memory ceiling (24 slots already full) are the next constraints.
