HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand dual-processor compute density. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core CPUs at 3.4 GHz and 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache manages RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across 16 SFF drive bays. This configuration targets virtualisation hosts, database nodes and high-throughput applications that benefit from 15 K SAS spindles.

Thermals noise and power draw

Dual 500 W hot-swap redundant power supplies share the load, so a single supply failure does not interrupt operation. The 2U chassis uses temperature-controlled fans that ramp with CPU and drive activity; under typical mixed workloads the airflow remains within data-centre acoustic norms. Power draw scales with the 24 virtual threads and 16 SFF bays populated, but the redundant design keeps each supply operating well below its 500 W rating for efficiency headroom.

Bundled drives controller and memory

Two 146 GB 15 K 6 Gbps 2.5-inch SAS drives arrive pre-installed in trays, giving immediate boot or scratch capacity with the P440's flash-backed cache protecting writes during power loss. The 16 GB DDR4-2400 foundation uses only two of 24 slots, leaving room for up to 3 TB when workloads grow. No operating system is included, so the installer chooses the hypervisor or OS that matches the environment.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 146GB SAS drives into the 16 SFF bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each 2.5-inch drive into its tray until the latch clicks, then insert the tray into a bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is confirming the Smart Array P440 recognises both drives before creating a RAID volume.

What maintenance will the 4GB FBWC module on the P440 controller need later?

The flash-backed write cache uses a capacitor pack that typically lasts several years; when the controller reports a cache-module fault, replace the FBWC assembly to restore write-acceleration and data-loss protection.

What thermal limit appears first when both E5-2643 v3 CPUs run at 3.4GHz under sustained load?

The 500W redundant power supplies set the practical ceiling; prolonged full-core utilisation can push total draw near their combined rating, triggering fan-speed increases and possible throttling before CPU temperature limits are reached.
