HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 32GB DDR4 2x 1TB SAS H240ar

2U rack server with dual Xeon E5-2609 v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack-mount server system built for data-centre workloads that demand reliability and expandability. It ships with two Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processors running at 1.9GHz and 32GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. Storage is handled by a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across twelve 3.5-inch large-form-factor drive bays.

Check power, rack depth and memory limits

Before ordering, confirm your rack can accommodate a 2U chassis and that the power distribution units can supply two redundant 500W hot-swap supplies. The board provides 24 DDR4 DIMM slots, twelve per processor, with a maximum supported capacity of 3TB using 64GB modules at up to 2400MT/s; the installed 32GB configuration leaves room for expansion but actual memory speed depends on the fitted CPUs. Verify that your operating system and applications are licensed for the dual-socket Xeon v3 platform.

Sustained load with redundant power and SAS

Under continuous operation the dual 500W redundant power supplies maintain uptime if one unit fails, while the H240ar controller delivers 12Gb/s SAS and 6Gb/s SATA bandwidth to the twelve drive bays. The two included 1TB 7.2K SAS drives provide baseline capacity for RAID arrays, and the Matrox G200eH2 graphics adapter handles basic display output without drawing significant power. Thermal design targets steady-state airflow across both processors and the full DIMM population for 24/7 operation.
