Core server configuration

The HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 is a 2U rack server built for data-centre workloads. It ships with a single Intel Xeon E5-2609 v3 six-core processor running at 1.9GHz and 64GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory. The chassis provides twelve large form factor drive bays and dual 500W redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Fit and limitations

This system suits buyers who need a 12-bay 3.5-inch storage platform with hardware RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 or 60 via the Smart HBA H240ar controller. It does not suit buyers who require a second processor installed, solid-state drives included, an operating system licence or a dedicated graphics processor beyond the integrated Matrox G200eH2 with 16MB video memory.

Deciding specification

The installed memory reaches the 64GB maximum supported by this specific CPU, so the 24 DIMM slots cannot be populated beyond that limit without a processor upgrade. If your workload demands more than 64GB of RAM, this configuration will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What type of hard drives do I need to populate the 12 LFF bays?

The server accepts 3.5-inch SAS or SATA drives. The H240ar controller supports both 12Gb SAS and 6Gb SATA interfaces for the installed bays.

Can I keep my existing DDR4 ECC registered modules when adding a second processor?

Yes. The board has 24 DDR4 slots, 12 per processor. Populate the second CPU's 12 slots with matching ECC registered DDR4 up to 2400MT/s to reach 3TB total.

How do I verify the H240ar RAID controller is healthy after installing drives?

During POST, the H240ar BIOS utility appears. Enter it to confirm all drives are detected, the desired RAID level is configured, and no degraded arrays are reported.
