Built for dense rack workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits in 2U and ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core processor at 2.3GHz plus 16GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The Smart HBA H240ar controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across eight 2.5-inch SFF bays. Redundant 500W hot-swap power supplies keep the platform running during a module failure.

Steady throughput under load

With up to 24 DIMM slots the memory subsystem scales to 3TB when a second processor is added, feeding all 24 virtual threads without bottlenecks. The H240ar moves data at 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA, so sustained database or virtualisation streams stay consistent rather than spiking and throttling. Eight drive bays give room for parallel arrays that maintain IOPS during long batch windows.

Thermals, noise and power in normal use

Dual 500W supplies share the load, letting each unit run at lower utilisation where fan curves stay quiet. The 2U chassis directs front-to-rear airflow across the CPU heatsinks and memory risers, keeping inlet temperatures stable in standard cold-aisle layouts. Hot-swap fans and power modules can be replaced without shutting down, so acoustic profile and thermal headroom remain predictable during maintenance.

Questions about this item

How much power do the two 500W redundant supplies draw under full load?

Each supply is rated at 500W; actual draw depends on the installed components and workload.

What drive caddies or trays are required to populate the 8 SFF bays?

The server includes 8 drive trays with screws; no additional caddies are needed for 2.5" SAS or SATA drives.

Can the H240ar controller manage NVMe drives installed in the optional bay 2 kit?

The H240ar supports 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA RAID; NVMe drives require a separate NVMe backplane and are not managed by this controller.
