HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 64GB DDR4 B140i 8 SFF

Dual-socket Xeon E5 v3 server for dense rack

This 2U rackmount system ships with two six-core Xeon E5-2609 v3 processors running at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 24 DIMM slots. The Intel C610 chipset supports up to 36 total cores with second-generation v4 processors, making the platform suitable for virtualisation clusters or database tiers that need room to grow without leaving the rack.

B140i software RAID limited to SATA drives

The onboard B140i controller provides RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 but only for SATA media; SAS and NVME devices are not supported on this controller. Eight 2.5-inch SFF bays are populated with two empty drive trays, while additional bays or a universal media bay can be added to the second and third chassis positions for expanded capacity.

Verify power, memory speed and OS requirements

Dual 500 W redundant hot-swap supplies are fitted, so confirm your rack PDU can deliver the necessary feed and that the inlet temperature stays within specification. Installed DDR4 runs at speeds up to 2400 MT/s depending on the processor, and maximum system memory reaches 3 TB when all slots are filled with supported modules. No operating system is included, so plan for hypervisor or OS installation before deployment.
