Rack server with twelve 3.5-inch bays

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built around a single Xeon E5-2609v3 six-core processor running at 1.9 GHz. It ships with 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed across 24 DIMM slots and includes a Smart HBA H240ar controller supporting SAS and SATA drives. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation.

Suited for bulk-storage workloads

This configuration fits environments that need high-capacity 3.5-inch drives in a compact rack footprint, such as backup repositories, archive storage or media libraries. The twelve large-form-factor bays and RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support cover a wide range of redundancy and performance profiles. Buyers who require small-form-factor density or wish to populate rear drive cages should look at alternative chassis layouts.

Single six-core processor at 1.9 GHz

The installed Xeon E5-2609v3 delivers six cores without hyper-threading at a fixed 1.9 GHz clock speed. Memory speed will operate up to 2400 MT/s depending on processor capability, and the platform supports a second CPU for up to 36 total cores. Workloads that demand higher single-thread frequency or greater core counts per socket will need a different processor choice.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the H240ar controller is managing the 12 LFF drive bays correctly after installation?

During POST the H240ar BIOS will list each detected 3.5-inch drive; you can also enter the controller utility (F10) to confirm all 12 bays show healthy RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 volumes.

The listing says 12 drive trays with screws are included but no drives — what else must I purchase to populate the bays?

You need 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives or SSDs; the H240ar supports both 12 Gb SAS and 6 Gb SATA devices, so buy any compatible LFF drives for the 12 bays.

Should I choose the single E5-2609v3 configuration or add a second processor to reach the 36-core maximum?

The board accepts two CPUs; adding a second E5-2609v3 doubles cores to 12 and unlocks the second set of 12 DIMM slots for memory expansion beyond 128 GB.
