HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server E5-2609 v3 1.9GHz 64GB 2x 1TB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

Purpose-built 2U rack server

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack-mount system designed for data-centre workloads that need dense compute and storage in a standard cabinet. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache manages two 1 TB 7.2 K SAS drives in a 24-bay SFF chassis. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Thermals, noise and power draw

Redundant 500 W power supplies share the load and allow one unit to fail without downtime, keeping power draw predictable under normal utilisation. The 2U form factor uses multiple system fans that ramp with inlet temperature; acoustic output is typical for rack-density servers in a cooled aisle. Hot-swap power and drive bays let administrators replace components without powering down, maintaining thermal stability during maintenance.

Memory ceiling fixed at 64 GB

The installed 64 GB matches the listed maximum memory capacity, so no further RAM upgrades are possible on this configuration. Buyers who need more than 64 GB of system memory must choose a different server platform. The 24 DIMM slots are fully populated to reach this limit, and the Xeon E5-2609 v3 memory controller caps supported speed at 2400 MT/s for the registered DDR4 modules supplied.
