HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 24-bay SFF server

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for dense storage workloads. It ships with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3 eight-core processors running at 2.4GHz and 128GB of DDR4 memory across 24 DIMM slots. The Smart Array P440 controller with 4GB FBWC supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 for flexible data protection.

Verify rack space, power and drive requirements

Confirm you have 2U of rack height available and can supply power to dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies. The chassis provides 24 small form factor 2.5-inch drive bays but no drives are included, so you must source compatible SAS drives separately. The installed memory reaches the 128GB limit for this processor configuration, leaving no room for expansion without a CPU upgrade.

Integrates into existing SAS storage infrastructure

The P440 controller connects to 12Gb and 6Gb SAS backplanes, letting the server slot into current SAS environments without protocol changes. Dual processors deliver 32 virtual cores for virtualization or database tasks while the Matrox G200eH2 graphics handle basic console output. Redundant power supplies free the build from single-point power failure risk.
