Server purpose

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for dense compute in the data centre. A single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 memory drive virtualised workloads and database tasks. Redundant 500 W hot-swap power supplies and an H240ar RAID controller protect uptime.

Fit and limits

This configuration suits teams that need strong single-thread performance and fast local storage in a compact chassis. Eight 2.5-inch SAS bays hold the two included 600 GB 15 K drives with room to grow. Buyers who want GPU acceleration or larger memory footprints from day one should look elsewhere because the Matrox G200eH2 graphics and 32 GB installed limit those paths.

Deciding specification

The H240ar controller provides 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity with RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support across the eight-bay backplane. This single spec determines whether the server can deliver the storage throughput and redundancy your workload demands.

Questions about this item

What rack-mount hardware does the 2U DL380 G9 chassis require?

The server is a 2U rack-mount unit designed for standard four-post racks; use the included sliding rails or order the HP 2U rail kit for tool-less mounting.

How do I install the second processor in this single-CPU configuration and what step is often missed?

Add a second E5-2643 v3 in the empty socket, populate the 12 DIMM slots associated with that socket, then apply the firmware update so the system recognises the new cores.

Which components will need replacement first in a 24×7 environment?

The two 500 W hot-swap power supplies and the 15 K rpm SAS drives are the primary wear items; both can be swapped without downtime.
