HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server E5-2643v3 3.4GHz 6C 48GB DDR4 B140i

2U Rack Server with Xeon E5-2643v3

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack-mount server built around a single Intel Xeon E5-2643v3 processor running at 3.4GHz with six cores. It ships with 48GB of DDR4 memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Matrox G200eH2 graphics controller with 16MB video memory. The chassis supports redundant hot-swap power supplies rated at 500W each. This configuration suits organisations deploying virtualisation hosts or database nodes in standard rack environments.

Eight SFF Drive Bays and B140i RAID

The front panel provides eight 2.5-inch SFF drive bays ready for SAS or SATA drives; two trays with screws are included while drives themselves are not. Storage is managed by the onboard B140i software RAID controller which supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 across SATA devices only. A second processor socket and twelve additional memory slots per CPU remain available for future expansion up to the platform maximum. Optional universal media bay, NVMe backplane or extra SFF cages can occupy the remaining internal bays.

Sustained Load with Redundant Power

Dual 500W hot-swap power supplies share the load and maintain operation if one unit fails, helping the server sustain continuous workloads without interruption. The Intel C610 chipset and DDR4 memory architecture support steady throughput for multi-threaded applications running across the six physical cores and twelve logical threads. Thermal design within the 2U form factor is engineered for 24/7 operation in data-centre aisles. Buyers who need hardware RAID acceleration, NVMe boot drives or GPU compute cards should evaluate alternative configurations.
