HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor running at 3.4 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. Storage is handled by an HP Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Two 4 TB 7.2 K SAS drives occupy two of the 12 LFF hot-swap bays. Dual 500 W redundant power supplies and a Matrox G200eH2 GPU complete the configuration.

Suits single-socket deployments needing 12 LFF bays

This server fits teams that want a dense 2U chassis with twelve 3.5-inch SAS bays and hardware RAID from the H240ar controller. The single six-core Xeon and 48 GB ceiling limit heavy virtualisation or large in-memory databases. Buyers who need two processors, more than 48 GB of RAM, or GPU compute beyond basic management graphics should look elsewhere. The 12 Gb SAS backplane and redundant power suit always-on environments.

12 LFF SAS bays with H240ar RAID

The defining specification is the twelve large-form-factor drive bays paired with the Smart HBA H240ar controller. It delivers 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA connectivity plus RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 across all installed drives. This combination determines how much local storage you can add and which redundancy levels are available. No other interface or controller option is present in this configuration.

Questions about this item

Should I add a second Xeon E5-2643 v3 to reach the 36-core maximum?

The board supports two sockets and up to 36 total cores. Adding a second E5-2643 v3 would give 12 physical cores and 24 threads, well below the limit, and lets you use all 24 DIMM slots.

What does the 3.4 GHz clock deliver in a real workload?

The six-core E5-2643 v3 runs at 3.4 GHz base frequency, providing strong single-thread speed for database or virtualization tasks that favour high clock over core count.

Does the H240ar controller limit the 12 Gbps SAS drives?

The H240ar supports 12 Gbps SAS and 6 Gbps SATA. Your installed 4 TB drives are 6 Gbps SAS, so the controller will not cap their throughput.
