Server system for data-centre workloads

This HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 rack server occupies 2U and ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2643 v3 six-core processor at 3.4 GHz, 4 GB of DDR4 ECC memory and two 300 GB 15 K SAS drives on a Smart HBA H240ar controller. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Suits teams running traditional SAS-based

Organisations that need a 12-bay LFF chassis with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 support will find the configuration ready for database, virtualisation or file-serving tasks. Buyers who require more than 4 GB of installed memory, additional CPU sockets populated or solid-state storage should plan upgrades before deployment.

12 large-form-factor drive bays define capacity

The chassis accepts twelve 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives, and the H240ar controller manages them at 12 Gbps SAS or 6 Gbps SATA speeds. This bay count and interface combination is the primary factor when matching the server to storage requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2×300 GB SAS drives and which step is often missed?

Slide each 3.5" drive into its LFF tray, lock the latch, insert the tray into one of the 12 front bays until the lever clicks, then use the H240ar BIOS utility to create a logical volume before the OS installer will see the array.

What maintenance will the 500 W redundant power supplies need later?

The hot-swap PSUs are rated for continuous operation; schedule a visual fan and filter check annually and replace a unit only if its amber fault LED lights or the iLO log reports a power-supply warning.

What limit appears first when the single Xeon E5-2643 v3 runs sustained 3.4 GHz loads?

With only 4 GB DDR4 installed across 24 DIMM slots, memory capacity becomes the bottleneck long before the six-core processor reaches thermal throttle under typical server workloads.
