HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF server
The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 8SFF is a rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads that demand dense compute in a 2U form factor. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 processor running at 2.3GHz and 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, making it suited for virtualisation clusters, database nodes and high-throughput applications. Buyers who need dual-socket performance from day one or require pre-installed storage drives should look elsewhere.
Capacity and headroom
The chassis supports up to eight 2.5-inch drive bays and a maximum memory capacity of 3TB across 24 DIMM slots, so the current 256GB configuration leaves substantial headroom for memory-heavy workloads. The installed Xeon E5-2697 v4 delivers 18 cores and 45MB of cache, while the HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller manages SATA and SAS drives in RAID arrays. A second processor socket remains empty, limiting peak compute until a matching CPU is added.
Build, connectivity and daily operation
Dual 500W Flex Slot power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation, and the integrated Intel I350/X540 network card delivers two 10GbE and two 1GbE ports for flexible fabric connectivity. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced, enabling out-of-band monitoring, firmware updates and console access without a local KVM. The unit measures 36 by 24 by 10 inches and weighs 40 units, fitting standard racks; rail kits are available on request for simplified installation.

Questions about this item
Will the single Xeon E5-2697 v4 leave enough PCIe lanes for my existing P440 SAS controller and dual-port 10 GbE card?
The installed processor provides 40 lanes, which is sufficient for the P440 controller and the Intel I350/X540 network card simultaneously.
How can I verify the 256 GB DDR4 ECC registered memory is recognised and error-free after first boot?
Enter the UEFI System Utilities or iLO interface; both report total capacity, speed and any corrected ECC errors during POST.
Does the shipment include drive caddies for the eight 2.5" bays and rails for rack mounting?
The chassis ships with eight drive caddies; rail kits are available on request but not included by default.
