Enterprise rack server for compute density
The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand redundant power and internal storage expandability. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor at 1.9GHz, 8GB of DDR4 ECC memory and a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500W hot-swap supplies and 16 SFF drive bays support high-availability configurations.
Suits virtualisation hosts needing room to grow.
This platform fits teams running hypervisors or database clusters that can scale to a second processor and up to 24 DIMM slots for 3TB total memory. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics and lack of PCIe GPU clearance rule out machine-learning, VDI rendering or HPC accelerator workloads. Buyers who need more than two 2.5-inch SAS drives out of the box should plan additional caddies.
Single-socket E5-2609 v3 limits peak threads
The installed six-core CPU caps the system at six threads until a second processor is added, making this the decisive spec for licensing models tied to core count. Memory runs at DDR4 speeds supported by the v3 architecture across 12 slots per socket. Storage performance scales with the P440 RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 engine and the two 600GB 15K SAS drives included.

Questions about this item
Do I need a second Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor to fill the dual-socket board?
The server ships with one six-core 1.9 GHz Xeon E5-2609 v3 installed; the second socket is empty and can accept a matching processor if you need more cores.
Will my existing 6 Gbps SAS drives run at full speed on the P440 controller?
The Smart Array P440 with 4 GB FBWC supports both 12 Gbps and 6 Gbps SAS, so 6 Gbps drives operate at their native rate.
How can I verify the 4 GB FBWC cache is active after installation?
During POST the controller reports its FBWC module status, and the Smart Storage Administrator utility shows the 4 GB flash-backed write cache as enabled and healthy.
