Product identity

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server supplied new with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4 GHz. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory across 24 DIMM slots and two 146 GB 15K SAS drives managed by a Smart Array P440 controller with 4 GB flash-backed write cache. Dual 500 W hot-swap power supplies provide redundancy for continuous operation in data centre environments.

Fit and alternatives

This server suits organisations that need dense 2.5-inch SAS storage within 24 front bays plus optional rear cages and hardware RAID levels up to RAID 60. It also fits workloads requiring up to 36 total cores and 3 TB maximum memory capacity. Buyers who need more than 24 drive bays or who require direct PCIe-attached flash storage should evaluate alternative platforms.

Deciding specification

The Smart Array P440 with 4 GB FBWC determines the RAID capability and write-performance ceiling for the installed SAS drives. If your workload demands higher controller cache or different RAID levels, this configuration will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

How are the 2.5-inch SAS drives installed in the 24 SFF bays, and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into its tray until the latch clicks, then insert the tray into the bay until the lever locks; the step often missed is failing to seat the lever fully, which leaves the drive disconnected from the backplane.

What maintenance will the Smart Array P440 4GB FBWC module need over time?

The flash-backed write cache uses a super-capacitor that typically lasts several years; when the controller reports a cache health warning, replace the FBWC module to avoid write-performance loss.

What thermal or power limit appears first when both Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs run at 2.4 GHz under sustained load?

The dual 500 W redundant power supplies set the ceiling; prolonged full-load operation can trip the supply’s over-current protection before the CPU thermal throttling engages.
