HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF 2x Xeon E5-2620 v3 192GB DDR4 rack server

ProLiant DL380 Gen9 12LFF Server

This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server delivers a 12-bay 3.5-inch chassis populated with two Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors at 2.4GHz and 192GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The integrated P440ar SAS controller with expander manages SATA drives, while dual 800W hot-plug power supplies and an Intel I350/X540 quad-port network adapter provide redundancy and 10GbE plus 1GbE connectivity. Remote administration is handled through HPE iLO Advanced with firmware updated to the latest stable release.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing dense 3.5-inch

The twelve large-form-factor bays and 3TB maximum memory ceiling support heavy consolidation workloads, and the dual-socket design keeps licensing costs predictable for hypervisor clusters. Buyers who need 2.5-inch bay density, GPU acceleration, or a single-socket platform should evaluate alternative chassis designs. Organisations requiring more than two processors or memory beyond 3TB will need a different server generation.

Twelve 3.5-inch drive bays define storage capacity

The 12LFF chassis fixes the maximum number of spinning disks or SATA SSDs at twelve, so capacity planning starts and ends with that bay count. The P440ar controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across those bays, and the SAS expander ensures all twelve ports are addressable without additional HBAs. If the workload demands more than twelve drives, a different chassis or external enclosure is required.
