Purpose-built compute density
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server arrives as a 2U chassis populated with two Xeon E5-2660v4 processors, each delivering 14 cores at 2 GHz, and 512 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Eight 2.5-inch SAS drive bays and an HPE Smart Array P440 controller provide the storage foundation, while dual 500 W flex-slot power supplies and integrated Intel I350/X540 networking handle power and connectivity. HPE iLO Advanced remote management is included for lights-out administration.
Virtualisation hosts and memory-heavy workloads
This configuration suits teams that need maximum core count and RAM capacity in a standard 2U footprint for virtualisation, database or high-performance computing clusters. Buyers who require internal drives shipped with the unit, discrete GPU acceleration, or a different drive-bay count should evaluate other platforms because this system ships without storage and uses integrated graphics only.
Dual-socket Xeon v4 with 512 GB DDR4 ceiling
The decisive specification is the pair of Xeon E5-2660v4 CPUs combined with 512 GB of DDR4 memory installed across the available DIMM slots, expandable to 3 TB when fully populated. This processor and memory combination defines the performance envelope for any workload targeted at this chassis.

Questions about this item
How loud and hot does the HPE DL380 Gen9 run with dual Xeon E5-2660v4 CPUs and 512GB DDR4 under continuous load?
The 2U chassis uses redundant 500W Flex Slot supplies and multiple temperature-controlled fans; under sustained load the dual 14-core Xeon E5-2660v4 processors draw significant power, so expect noticeable fan noise and heat output typical of a 2-socket rack server.
Which drives and caddies do I need to add before the P440 SAS controller can present storage to the OS?
The 8SFF front bays accept 2.5-inch SAS drives or SSDs in HPE Gen9 caddies; the Smart Array P440 RAID controller manages those drives, but no drives or caddies are installed from the factory.
Will my existing HPE Gen8 SAS drives work in the DL380 Gen9 8SFF bays with the P440 controller?
Gen8 2.5-inch SAS drives fit physically, but Gen9 requires Gen9-specific drive carriers; the P440 controller supports SAS-3 speeds, so older SAS-2 drives will operate at their native 6 Gb/s rate.
