HP ProLiant DL380 G9 2U Rack Server

The HP ProLiant DL380 G9 is a 2U rack server built for data-center workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 48 GB of DDR4 memory. The system includes a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache and two 600 GB 15K SAS drives. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies are fitted as standard. No operating system is included.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your rack provides 2U of vertical space and supports the server's depth and weight. Ensure the facility can supply power to dual redundant 500 W units on appropriate circuits. Confirm that any additional DDR4 ECC registered modules you plan to install match the 2400 MT/s specification and the 24 available DIMM slots. The Smart Array P440 controller uses SAS connectivity; check that any extra drives or backplanes you intend to add are SAS-compatible.

Sustained-load behaviour

Under continuous demand the twelve cores and 24 threads maintain the 2.3 GHz base frequency while the 4 GB flash-backed write cache on the P440 absorbs write bursts to protect data during power events. The 15K SAS drives deliver consistent IOPS for database or virtualisation workloads over long periods. Dual redundant power supplies share the load, reducing thermal stress on each unit. The 24 DIMM slots allow memory expansion up to the platform maximum without interrupting operation.
