HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 8GB 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

2U rack server for data-centre workloads

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 8GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies provide resilience for continuous operation. The Smart HBA H240ar controller manages storage over 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA links.

Suits single-socket deployments

This configuration suits buyers who need a single-socket server with twelve 3.5-inch LFF drive bays and hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60. The installed 8GB uses two of twenty-four DIMM slots and the memory ceiling is 8GB with one processor. Buyers who want more storage bays than twelve, a second processor or memory beyond 8GB should look at a different configuration.

Single Xeon E5-2609 v3 limits memory to 8GB

The single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 processor caps maximum memory capacity at 8GB across twenty-four slots. Adding a second supported processor would raise that ceiling, but the current build cannot exceed the installed amount. This constraint decides whether the server fits workloads that demand larger memory footprints.
