ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF Rack Server
This HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF rack server ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors running at 1.6GHz and 768GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller for storage management. Integrated Intel I350/X540 network adapters provide two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports, while dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundancy. Remote administration is handled through HPE iLO Advanced.
Suited For Virtualisation Hosts Needing Dense Memory
The 768GB DDR4 configuration and dual-socket design make this platform suitable for virtualisation hosts, database workloads, or compute clusters that benefit from high core counts and large memory footprints. The 8SFF bay layout allows dense local storage using SAS drives under the P440 RAID controller. Organisations that require pre-installed drives, GPU acceleration, or single-thread performance above 1.6GHz should evaluate alternative configurations.
Memory Ceiling Decides Long-Term Fit
Maximum supported memory is 3TB across the 24 DIMM slots, so the installed 768GB leaves substantial headroom for future expansion without replacing modules. Buyers who anticipate growth beyond that 3TB limit will need a different server generation.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the P440 SAS controller detects all installed drives after setup?
During POST the P440 BIOS lists every detected SAS drive; press F8 to enter the Array Configuration Utility and verify each bay shows the correct capacity and status.
Which components are already installed and which must be purchased separately?
Two Xeon E5-2603 v3 processors, 768GB DDR4 ECC memory, the P440 PCIe SAS controller, dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies and the Intel I350/X540 network card are installed; drives and rail kit are not included.
Should I choose the 768GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory up to the 3TB maximum?
The 768GB DDR4 ECC Registered configuration suits most virtualization workloads; additional DDR4 modules can be added later to reach the 3TB limit if application demand grows.
