Server purpose and audience

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand high single-thread speed and dense storage. A single Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz provides 12 threads, suited to database, virtualization and compute-heavy tasks.

Build quality and daily connectivity

Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure. The 16 SFF drive bays accept 2.5-inch SAS drives; two 600 GB 15 K units are installed. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache manages RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across 12 Gb and 6 Gb links.

Upgrade path and when it matters

Memory can scale to 3 TB across 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, and a second processor doubles core count to 36 total. The jump is worth it when workloads outgrow the base 4 GB RAM or need more parallel threads than the single six-core CPU can deliver.

Questions about this item

What RAID levels does the P440 controller support, and what throughput does its 12Gb SAS link cap in practice?

The Smart Array P440 with 4GB FBWC supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Its 12Gb SAS interface peaks at 12GB/s for compatible drives.

How many 2.5-inch drive bays does the 2U chassis provide, and what clearance is needed for the redundant power supplies?

The front panel holds 16 SFF bays for 2.5-inch SAS drives. Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies occupy the rear and require standard 2U rack depth.

What are the steps to install additional DDR4 memory, and which slot-population rule is most often missed?

Power down, open the lid, and insert ECC registered DDR4 DIMMs into the 24 slots — 12 per processor. The rule most often missed is filling all 12 slots on the first CPU before using the second.
