2U Rack Server with 12 LFF Bays

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server built for data-centre workloads that demand internal storage density and redundant power. A single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz provides 12 threads, while 48 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory occupies half of the 24 available DIMM slots. The Smart HBA H240ar controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across twelve 3.5-inch drive bays.

Suits Storage-Heavy Workloads, Not Maximum Compute

This configuration fits buyers who need a deep pool of large-form-factor drives behind a hardware RAID controller with dual 500 W power supplies. Organisations planning to run two processors, populate all 24 DIMM slots, or require GPU acceleration should look elsewhere, as the current build leaves the second CPU socket empty, caps memory at 48 GB, and relies on the integrated Matrox G200eH2 graphics with 16 MB video memory.

Single E5-2643 v3 Processor Limits Core Count

The installed six-core Xeon fixes the thread ceiling at 12 and prevents the system from reaching the 36-core maximum the platform supports. Adding a second compatible processor would double the core count and unlock the full 3 TB memory capacity, but the server ships with only one CPU and 48 GB of DDR4. Buyers needing more cores or memory must procure additional components separately.

Questions about this item

How many DIMM slots remain free for future memory upgrades?

With 48 GB installed across the 24 DDR4 slots, all slots are populated; any upgrade requires replacing existing modules rather than adding to empty sockets.

Which component reaches its limit first when the server runs at full load continuously?

The single E5-2643 v3 processor tops out at 6 cores and 3.4 GHz, so CPU throughput is the first ceiling before memory or the H240ar controller saturate.

How loud and hot does the 2U chassis get with both 500 W supplies running 24/7?

Redundant hot-swap 500 W units and the 2U rack design keep fan noise and exhaust heat at typical data-centre levels for this form factor.
