HPE DL380 Gen9 4LFF 2x Xeon E5-2680 v3 768GB DDR4 rack server

Enterprise Rack Server

The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v3 processors running at 2.5 GHz, each offering 12 cores and 30 MB cache. A total of 768 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory is installed across the available slots. The chassis provides four 3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bays and includes an HPE Smart Array P440 SAS controller.

Suitable Buyers

This configuration suits organisations that need high core counts and large memory capacity for virtualisation, database hosting or compute clusters. Remote management is handled by HPE iLO Advanced with a 1 Gb dual-port 332T network adapter. Two 500 W Flex Slot power supplies deliver redundancy. Buyers who require internal storage out of the box should note that no drives are installed; they must be sourced separately. The maximum processor count of two is already reached, so CPU expansion is not possible.

Memory Capacity Decides Fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the installed 768 GB DDR4 memory against the 3 TB maximum supported by the platform. Workloads that fit comfortably within this 768 GB limit can run immediately, while larger datasets will need additional DIMMs purchased separately. Memory type is fixed to DDR4; other generations are physically incompatible.
