HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 16-bay 2U rack server E5-2670 v3 12C 2.3GHz 128GB DDR4 2×146GB SAS P440 4GB FBWC

16-bay 2U rack server for dense compute

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 fits two full-height processors and twenty-four DDR4 DIMM slots in a 2U chassis with sixteen 2.5-inch SAS bays. A single E5-2670 v3 twelve-core processor at 2.3GHz and 128GB of registered ECC memory are installed. Dual 500W hot-swap supplies and a Smart Array P440 with 4GB flash-backed cache handle RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Two 146GB 15K SAS drives ship in the front bays.

Suits virtualisation hosts needing maximum core

The sixteen-bay front panel and twenty-four memory slots support heavy consolidation workloads. Buyers who require a second processor to reach the thirty-six-core maximum or who need more than 128GB of memory today must add parts. The single-socket configuration leaves half the DIMM slots and the second CPU socket empty. Organisations that need GPU acceleration or more than sixteen internal drives should consider a different platform.

Sixteen 2.5-inch SAS bays with P440 RAID controller

The chassis provides sixteen small-form-factor SAS drive bays backed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB flash-backed write cache. This combination determines how many drives you can install internally and which RAID levels are available without an additional controller.
