ProLiant DL380 G9 2U rack server

This 2U rack server ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2670v3 twelve-core processor running at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR4 ECC memory. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache manages two 146 GB 15 K SAS drives in sixteen small-form-factor bays. Redundant hot-swap 500 W power supplies are included.

Upgrade path from single-processor configurations

A second Xeon E5-2600 v3 or v4 processor can be added to reach 24 total cores and unlock the full 24 DIMM slots for up to 3 TB of DDR4. The jump is worth it when virtualisation density or memory capacity becomes the limiting factor. Builders who need more storage bays than the sixteen SFF slots provided should look elsewhere.

Sustained load behaviour with FBWC

The 4 GB flash-backed write cache on the P440 absorbs bursty write traffic and protects data during power loss, keeping latency steady under continuous database or virtualisation workloads. Dual 500 W redundant supplies maintain operation if one unit fails. The Matrox G200eH2 graphics adapter is intended for management console output only.

Questions about this item

What rack height and drive bay count does the DL380 Gen9 require?

The server occupies 2U of rack space and provides 16 SFF 2.5-inch drive bays for SAS drives.

How is the Smart Array P440 controller installed and what step is often missed?

The P440 plugs into a PCIe slot and the 4GB FBWC module must be seated on the controller; forgetting the FBWC cable is the common error.

Which memory modules and drive replacements are compatible later?

Use DDR4 ECC Registered DIMMs up to 64GB each across 24 slots, and replace drives with 2.5-inch SAS units that fit the 16-bay chassis.
