HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U Rack Server E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 16GB DDR4 2x 300GB 15K SAS H240ar

2U Rack Server with Xeon E5-2609 v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rackmount server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and two 300 GB 15K SAS drives. The Smart HBA H240ar controller handles RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 across the 12 LFF drive bays. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy. This configuration suits small-business virtualization, file serving or test environments that need proven Gen9 density and serviceability.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Redundant 500 W power supplies and hot-swap fans keep the chassis cool during continuous multi-threaded workloads. The six-core Xeon maintains its 1.9 GHz base frequency without turbo, so compute output stays predictable over long runs. DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs protect data integrity when all 24 memory slots are populated up to the 3 TB platform maximum. The 15K SAS drives deliver consistent IOPS for database or logging tasks, while the H240ar controller offloads parity calculations for RAID 5, 6, 50 and 60 without host CPU overhead.

Pre-Order Compatibility Checklist

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and sufficient depth for the DL380 G9 chassis. Confirm the facility can supply two independent power circuits for the redundant 500 W units. Ensure the operating system you plan to install supports the Intel C610 chipset and the Matrox G200eH2 graphics device. Check that any additional DDR4 ECC registered modules you intend to add match the 2400 MT/s speed grade and registered specification required by the 24 DIMM slots. Remember that the server ships without an operating system.
